Body image disorder refers to the distorted mental representation of a person’s own body with its physical and aesthetic features. This involves a mismatch between the real and subjectively perceived body, as it is seen by others, and the perceived body by the individual himself.
This disorder causes the sufferer, when is reflected, that he/she sees his/herself fatter and deformed. This causes a strong body dissatisfaction and distress in public situations, often leading to social withdrawal.
