Dysmorphophobia: recent developments of interest to the maxillofacial surgeon
Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg.
1996 Oct.
Abstract
Recent changes in the classification of psychiatric illnesses have resulted in the term dysmorphophobia being replaced by that of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). This paper attempts to alert the clinician to the presenting features of the condition and discusses its management, with particular emphasis on the role of surgery and current concepts of pharmacological treatment. A number of case reports are included to illustrate the diversity of this interesting disorder and the difficulties involved in treatment.
