Özet
Aim: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by thepresence of an imaginary defect of oneself and an increased mentaloccupation which causes either an impairment in functionalityor clinical distress. The aim of our study was to detect BDD prevalenceand its clinical features in hospitalized psychiatric patients.Material and Method: Hospitalized patients in our clinics wereevaluated. All the patients in our study were evaluated by usinga questionnaire that was prepared in accordance with theBDD literature by the authors, a sociodemographic data form,Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I)and Structured Clinical Interview for Axis II Disorders (SCID-II).Results: BDD prevalence was found to be 7% in hospitalized psychiatricpatients. It was also observed that all patients with BDDhad self-image anxiety, had mirror checking behaviour, tended tocamuflage the perceived defect, spent more than one hour in selfimageanxiety and had personality disorders. Howeve, none of theBDD patients ever mentioned any symptoms related to BDD unlessthey were asked and none of them had been diagnosed withBDD by the psychiatric team who were treating them.Conclusion: BDD is relatively common in hospitalized psychiatricpatients. Therefore most BDD patients are not diagnosed. BDDdiagnosis rate might be improved by questioning BDD as well asinspecting self-image anxiety.
