Please find below definitions of body dysmorphia and body dysphoria:
- Body dysmorphia is the sense of dissatisfaction with one’s body, and the perception that their body is flawed or defective. This can manifest in perceptions of “bad” skin or hair, or more commonly, the perception that one is “fat” despite evidence to the contrary. Body dysmorphia is a common contributing factor to mental health complications that can require anorexia nervosa treatment. Body dysmorphic disorder is present in at least 25% of people with anorexia nervosa, and body image distortions are almost always present in these cases.
- Gender dysphoria is the feeling of distress or discomfort because of the difference between a person’s gender (assigned at birth) and their gender identity. This applies to both males who are assigned a female gender at birth and females who were assigned the male gender at birth. People with gender dysphoria are normally transgender. However, there are cases of non-binary gender identities in which gender dysphoria is present.
