Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Abstract

ÖZETBeden dismorfik bozukluğu, bir kişinin gerçekte olmayan var olduğunu sandığı bir bedensel kusur ile aşırı uğraşması ya da bir beden kusuru varsa bile bunu aşırı abartması durumudur. Yaygın bir hastalık olması ve bir yüzyıldan fazla zamandır literatürde tanımlanmış olmasına rağmen, yeterince tanınma-mış bir bozukluktur. Kronik seyirli, tedaviye dirençli olması ve sanrısal yoğun-luğa varabilen şiddeti kişide ciddi yeti yıkımına yol açabilir. Yaşam kalitesini düşürmesi ve özkıyım girişimleri nedeniyle, bu bozukluğun uygun tanı ve tedavisi önem taşımaktadır. Bu yazıda beden dismorfik bozukluğunun tanı, etyoloji, klinik özellikleri ve tedavisi kısaca gözden geçirilmiştir.
