Body dysmorphia (body dysmorphic disorder) is a mental health condition marked by intense, persistent preoccupation with perceived flaws in one's appearance, often not visible or only slightly noticeable to others. Rapid, significant body changes during GLP-1 treatment can be a complex experience for anyone, and particularly relevant for those with a history of body dysmorphia or disordered eating — worth discussing openly with a prescriber or mental health professional before and during treatment.
