Another One For The Disorders Department
My gf is sitting here watching Oprah and I hear this lady saying that she's hideously disfigured.
So I'm asking my gf "What happened to her? Did someone cut her face? Was she born that way?" At this point the lady is hiding her face.
Oprah then says "Come on out". Me and my gf are looking at each other and I said that I bet she's as beautiful as can be.
Turns out, the lady was a knockout.
She said she has BDD
Body Dismorphic Disorder:dry:
My gf, who normally watches Oprah faithfully, turned the channel.

Quote:
Body dysmorphic disorder: A psychiatric disorder characterized by excessive preoccupation with imagined defects in physical appearance. People with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are obsessed by the idea that some part of their body -- their hair, nose, skin, hips, whatever -- is ugly or deformed, when in truth it looks normal. BDD may focus on moles, freckles, acne, minor scars, facial or body hair, or the size and shape of their breasts or genitalia. People with BDD may spend an excess of time looking in the mirror, be forever fixing their hair, or wear heavy makeup or sunglasses inside as a form of camouflage. They may make multiple medical visits or have surgical procedures to correct the imagined defect. Treatment of BDD may involve cognitive behavioral therapy or medications, usually those used in obsessive-compulsive disorder to which BDD may be related. Also called somatoform disorder, dysmorphophobia.
