Question 9 • Fall 24 Personal Fitness IC

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

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

Explanation

Body dysmorphic disorder involves intense preoccupation with perceived flaws in one’s appearance, which can lead someone to seek repeated cosmetic procedures to change those features. Therefore, relying on cosmetic procedures to shape one’s body features is 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.
