Question 9 • Contemporary Health

Which action is a well-known symptom of body dysmorphic disorder?

Answer
A
feeling beautiful and confident in one’s skin
B
thinking about one’s body image from time to time
C
relying on cosmetic procedures to shape one’s body features
D
accepting that others have different body shapes and sizes

Explanation

Body dysmorphic disorder involves persistent distress about perceived flaws in one’s appearance, often leading someone to repeatedly seek ways to change those features. Relying on cosmetic procedures to alter body features is therefore the best answer. The other choices describe confidence, occasional thoughts about appearance, or acceptance of body diversity, none of which is a symptom by itself.
