Abstract

BDD remains an understudied psychiatric disorder. Further research is required to establish its etiopathology and neurocognitive underpinnings. Its relationship to other psychiatric disorders requires clarification. Also needed is a much better understanding of the best treatments to adopt should conventional approaches (eg, SRIs, CBT) fail.
