About
The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire-Dermatology Version (BDDQ-DV) is a specialized adaptation of the BDDQ tailored for use in dermatological settings. This version focuses on identifying Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) in patients seeking dermatological treatments. The BDDQ-DV includes questions that assess preoccupations with perceived skin flaws and their impact on the patient's daily life. It evaluates behaviors commonly associated with BDD, such as excessive skin checking, grooming, and seeking reassurance. By concentrating on skin-related concerns, the BDDQ-DV provides dermatologists with relevant insights to identify patients who may require further psychological evaluation and support. This tool aids dermatologists in making informed decisions about treatment suitability, ensuring comprehensive patient care by addressing both physical and mental health aspects.
