Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy significantly alters women's bodies and minds, making the experience particularly tough for those with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), which distorts body image perceptions and affects overall functioning.*
-
- A study involving 158 women at various stages of pregnancy found that those in their second trimester report the highest quality of life, while those with high BDD symptoms experience lower quality of life and body image, especially in the first and third trimesters.*
-
- The results emphasize the importance of providing targeted support and interventions for pregnant women dealing with BDD to enhance their well-being during and after pregnancy.*
