As per WebMD, body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder where people perceive that certain parts of their body are defects which might be minimal for others.
Karan Johar said that ‘he is suffering from body dysmorphia’. He lost weight but he has perceived it as a flaw. This is why, he is seen wearing oversized clothes.
The exact cause of BDD is still unknown but genetics and past trauma can be the possible reasons. Peer pressure and low self-esteem can also affect them.
Feeling conscious about your appearance, consistently asking for reassurance and dissatisfaction with improvement in flaws can be the symptoms of BDD.
If you are looking for treatment for BDD, you can consult a specialised therapist. Other options include medications and hospitalisation for promising results.
