Psychopathology and body dissatisfaction in prospective plastic surgery patients: the SMILE experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder IV (DSM-IV), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is defined as an excessive concern with an imagined or slight defect in physical appearance. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is estimated to affect 1-2% of the general population. Almost 6-15% of subjects suffering from body dissatisfaction (BD) undergo plastic surgery (PS) without any psychological benefits. Castle and Morkell have shown that approximately 6%-15% BDD patients require plastic surgery (PS) operations. This treatment, however, frequently results in no change or worsening of body dissatisfaction symptoms. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of BD and psychiatric symptoms in a sample of prospective PS patients.
