Dysmorphophobia is a mental disorder characterized by noticing (most often) non-existent body and beauty defects and an exaggerated perception of one's appearance. It is worth adding that most often this defect is not noticed by other people. Take the online test and see if you may have dysmorphophobia.
Unfortunately, dysmorphophobia is a new disease of the 21st century. Nowadays, more and more cases of this disorder are noted in teenagers. This is the result of pressure and the canon of "beauty" created by social media. Not only young people have a problem with accepting their own body, the problem may also concern the elderly.
Some countries have begun to ban the use of beauty filters on social media. Currently, some public figures also encourage people to try to accept their appearance and not succumb to distorted ideals.
Remember that the online test is not the same as the diagnosis. If you observe disturbing symptoms in yourself - contact your doctor.
