Dangers of body dismorphia in men

Body dismorphia affects both men and women, although it is more commonly diagnosed in women. It is estimated that 1 in 100 people suffer from dismorphia, and that the disorder is equally common among men and women.

Dismorphia can have a devastating effect on a person's life, leading to social isolation, anxiety, depression, and even suicide. The disorder is often misunderstood, and sufferers may be reluctant to seek help because they fear being ridiculed or disbelieved.

If you are a man suffering from dismorphia, know that you are not alone. There is help available, and you can get better.
