Question

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

• feeling beautiful and confident in one’s skin
• relying on cosmetic procedures to shape one’s body features
• (blurred option: thinking about one’s body image from time to time)
• accepting that others have different body shapes and sizes

Explanation:

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) involves excessive concern about perceived flaws in appearance. Relying on cosmetic procedures to alter body features aligns with BDD symptoms, as those with BDD often seek such interventions to "fix" perceived defects. The other options (feeling confident, occasional body image thoughts, accepting others' body diversity) are not symptoms of BDD.

Answer:

B. relying on cosmetic procedures to shape one's body features
