ABSTRACT

People have become more aware of body dysmorphic disorder and are actively seeking treatments to cure this mental disorder. Individuals affected with body dysmorphic disorder generally experience high comorbidity rates with other debilitating mental disorders, namely anorexia nervosa and anxiety. By collating information about the effects of body dysmorphic disorder with other mental disorders by using functional MRI, the neuroanatomy of body dysmorphic disorder can be dismantled to understand the interplay of dysfunctions between various mental disorders. The improved understanding could have clinical implications related to better treatments because of a more thorough comprehension of the pathophysiology of body dysmorphic disorder. Furthermore, research can expand into the analyzing of various mental activities in a resting state to further develop a more holistic interpretation of the effect of mental disorders on the brain.
