About

The Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire (DCQ) is a self-report screening tool designed to identify individuals with heightened concerns about their appearance, particularly those who may be suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). The DCQ consists of a series of questions that assess the severity and impact of perceived physical flaws. The questionnaire helps clinicians and cosmetic practitioners to detect signs of BDD early, facilitating timely mental health referrals and ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care before undergoing any cosmetic procedures.
