The prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) was investigated in a non-clinical sample. German college students (n = 133; 73.7% female) completed self-report questionnaires assessing BDD, self-esteem, symptoms of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and skin picking. Based on our data, seven participants (5.3%) satisfied DSM-IV BDD criteria. Significant differences were found between students with and without BDD in the number of endorsed obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms. Poor body image was associated with poor self-esteem, symptoms of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. One student with BDD also reported severe skin picking. In conclusion, BDD is a common psychiatric disorder in college students. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
