OBJECTIVE: The authors evaluated the frequency of body dysmorphic disorder in patients with a primary diagnosis of anxiety disorders and major depression. METHOD: Patients with social phobia (N = 54), obsessive-compulsive disorder (N = 53), generalized anxiety disorder (N = 32), panic disorder (N = 47), and major depression (N = 42) and normal comparison subjects (N = 33) were studied. RESULTS: Body dysmorphic disorder was most common in patients with social phobia (11%) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (8%); it was less prevalent among patients with panic disorder (2%), generalized anxiety disorder (0%), and major depression (0%) and among normal subjects (0%). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that body dysmorphic disorder may share etiologic elements with social phobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
