[...] le trouble de dysmorphie corporelle(TDC) se caractérise par la présence de préoccupations excessives et récurrentes concernant l'apparence physique [...] Ces préoccupations sont habituellement imaginées, mais peuvent se baser sur un handicap présent et léger. [...] L'individu qui souffre d’un TDC fait plusieurs rituels : cacher ou masquer son handicap, se regarder constamment dans le miroir, se nettoyer excessivement, rechercher du réconfort et décider de passer au bistouri. 2, record 1, French, - trouble%20de%20dysmorphie%20corporelle

peur d’une dysmorphie corporelle : Cette désignation est à éviter, car elle ne décrit pas adéquatement le trouble. En effet, les personnes atteintes ne craignent pas de présenter un défaut physique, mais ont plutôt une perception déformée de leur apparence. 7, record 1, French, - trouble%20de%20dysmorphie%20corporelle
