Body dysmorphic disorder patients seek treatment from dermatologists and plastic surgeons instead of psychiatrists for their psychiatric condition. It is important to recognize body dysmorphic disorder to avoid prescribing treatments or performing procedures in those with the disorder and to refer them to a mental health professional who can provide appropriate therapy. This chapter describes methods for clinicians to screen for body dysmorphic disorder within their patient population utilizing behavioral observation, interview, and structured surveys.
