Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) needs more research to understand its causes, brain functions, and links to other mental health conditions. Effective treatments beyond standard options like Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SRIs) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) require further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is recognized as a distinct psychiatric condition.
  • Current understanding of BDD's underlying mechanisms and neurobiology is limited.
  • There is a need to explore BDD's connections with other mental health disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the understudied nature of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
  • To emphasize the necessity for further research into BDD's etiopathology and neurocognitive aspects.
  • To call for clarification of BDD's relationship with other psychiatric disorders and to investigate alternative treatments.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and synthesis of existing literature on Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

  • It identifies gaps in current research regarding BDD's etiology, neurocognition, and treatment.
  • No new empirical data were collected; the focus is on theoretical and clinical implications.

    • Main Results:

    • BDD remains significantly under-researched across multiple domains.
    • Key areas requiring investigation include the disorder's origins and associated cognitive processes.
    • The comorbidity of BDD with other psychiatric conditions needs further elucidation.

    Conclusions:

    • Body Dysmorphic Disorder warrants increased research attention.
    • Establishing the neurobiological and cognitive basis of BDD is crucial.
    • Developing and validating treatments for refractory BDD cases is a priority.
