Abstract: BackgroundWith the advent of the fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) has been subsumed into the obsessive-compulsive disorders and related disorders (OCDRD) category.ObjectiveWe aimed to determine the empirical evidence regarding the potential relationship between BDD and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) based on the prevalence data, etiopathogenic pathways, and clinical characterization of patients with both disorders.MethodA comprehensive … Show more

“…Genetics and environmental influences: past studies found high rates of both disorders among first degree relatives of patients with either OCD or BDD. They also found a high prevalence of other mental health disorders such as social phobia, depression, and eating disorders in these families [25]. A genetic study (n = 2,148) of adult twins found the common traits in OCD and BDD are due to genetic overlap of 64% in these two disorders [26].…”

“…Comparing the existence of comorbidities in BDD with OCD, the rates were 27.5% and 10.4%. Both conditions presented SAD and severe depression (major depression) as the main comorbidities [72]. The association of BDD cases with psychiatric internment is estimated in 14% of the cases, while the suicide attempts are present in [22][23][24][25][26][27].5% of the cases [14,70,73].…”

“…It starts always gradually and its development is related with low quality of life; however, there is no evidence of any difference of quality of life or functional loss between patients in which the disorder started early or later in life [68]. Although, depending of the history of life of the individual, the outcome of the disorder can be suicidal or other comorbidity even more severe than BDD [58,72], the majority of BDD patients have suicidal ideas (80%), and a considerable percentage of them have already presented suicidal attempts (24%) [60,69]. Among American population, it has been noticed that suicide rates are 45 times larger in BDD patients when related to the rest of the population.…”

“…The perceived physical defect may be vague or specific and involves one or multiple parts of the body. There is a high comorbidity rate between BDD and OCD, ranging from 8 to 37% lifetime rates in select studies [ 6 ]. The recurrent thoughts about physical defects and repetitive behavior (e.g., viewing oneself in a mirror or ‘self-surgery’) found in patients with BDD may resemble the characteristics of OCD.…”
