‘’ Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. These flaws are often unnoticeable to others. I haven't really indulged into the mental health aspect of it but rather taken the word Dysmorphia Literal in to the exaggerated features of a part of a body, focusing on the mind creating this deformed look on sizes and shapes within the images.’’ Body Dysmorphia (online) Available at: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/body-dysmorphia/  [Accessed 10th February 2022]
