Abstract

Introduction: BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER is one of the common disorders in which adolescents give excessive attention to their appearances. In fact, it may causes disruptions in adolescents' individual and social life. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the PREVALENCE of BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER in FEMALE ADOLESCENTS of Yazd.Method: In this cross-sectional study, the population consisted of all high school female students of Yazd (N=10737) in 2012-2013, among which 371 students were selected as the study sample by using Cochran formula and cluster sampling method. Moreover, the participants completed a series of demographic questions as well as the questionnaire of Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale-BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER (Y-BOCS-BDD).Results: The findings revealed that 41% of sample were reported to have unusual concern about appearance and body shape in range of low to very severe. As a matter of fact, most of them experienced moderate severity and 7.1% showed severe BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER that required immediate psychological intervention. The PREVALENCE in FEMALE ADOLESCENTS was estimated as 7.1% and most prevalent age of suffering was 17.Conclusion: In this research, it was endeavored to provide a more realistic image of BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER in Yazd adolescents by utilizing a precise methodology. Considering the high PREVALENCE of this disorder in FEMALE ADOLESCENTS and its adverse consequences, some programs are recommended to be applied for diagnosis and early treatment of BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER to promote adolescents mental health.
