Think your ugly? You could have a disorder.

   Almost every person is not content with themselves. Body dysmorphic disorder is a problem people have to where they are obsessed with flaws that only they see and no one else.  The typical “flaws” one focuses on is the face,body odor, and hair.This disorder can even affect ability to work, attend school, or even be social with someone.

      Both drug and pyschotherapy can treat this problem. Some people may even go as far as to get plastic surgery performed on them which usually makes things worse. In 1997  the United States declared this as a mental disorder.
