If the concerns are causing severe damage to the social functions, occupational and other aspects of life it is diagnosed as body dysmorphic disorder. This study investigates the relationship between obsessive - compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder in a nonclinical female samples in the year 2007.

Results: The study involved 456 female students 18 to 26. Mean age was 20.5±1.8. The results showed a significant correlation between BDD and OCD. (p=0.043)
Conclusion: Given the significant prevalence of symptoms of BDD in this study, screening for this disorder in high-risk groups reduces many costs resulting from inappropriate treatments. Chance of body dysmorphic disorder symptoms in those with symptoms of obsessive - compulsive was 3.5 times more than the people without symptoms of the disorder, suggests the obcessive nature of body dysmorphic disorder in the study group.
