From the opening chapter

In a world where appearances often dominate, many of us find ourselves grappling with concerns about how we look. This feeling, known as appearance anxiety, can subtly infiltrate our thoughts and behaviours. It involves a preoccupation with perceived flaws in one's appearance, leading to distress or impaired functioning. While it's normal to occasionally worry about our looks, appearance anxiety becomes problematic when it starts affecting our daily lives and self-esteem. It's important to differentiate appearance anxiety from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a more severe condition. BDD is characterised by an intense focus on perceived defects or flaws in physical appearance, which are either non-existent or minor. This preoccupation extends beyond typical concerns, often resulting in significant emotional distress and hindering daily functioning. While appearance anxiety can be a component of BDD, the latter usually requires professional intervention and is diagnosed through specific criteria outlined in the DSM-5. The prevalence of appearance anxiety is significant, with research indicating that many people experience it to varying degrees.
