The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire (BDDQ) : The BDD-Q is a brief, validated self-administered questionnaire that is used to identify patients having symptoms of BDD. It uses close-ended questions and identifies if participants' concerns regarding appearance are a source of preoccupation. It also identifies the grade of distress or interference with social and occupational functioning caused by these concerns . It has good validity, high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (89- 93%) for screening for BDD . BDD diagnosis is likely if answers to question (1) (preoccupation) are yes to both parts, answers to question 3 (significant stress) include yes to any of the questions and answers to question (4) (time spent thinking about defect) include b or c choices.
