Body dysmorphic disorder with poor to absent insight

Description

All definitional requirements of body dysmorphic disorder are met. Most or all of the time, the individual is convinced that the disorder-specific beliefs are true and cannot accept an alternative explanation for their experience. The lack of insight exhibited by the individual does not vary markedly as a function of anxiety level.
