Anxiety disorder is an umbrella term that is used for several different kinds of abnormal, pathological phobia, fears and anxiety. Anxiety disorder refers to nervous system disorders as irrational or illogical worry that does not have a basis in fact.

An anxiety disorder is a serious condition that is marked by several things. It is characterized by extreme, chronic anxiety which disturbs thought, behavior, mood and/or physiological activity.

Anxiety disorder is a big problem in the United States. About 19,000,000 adults have some kind of anxiety disorder in America according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Depending on each individual case, dysmorphic syndrome may be considered an anxiety disorder or part of an eating disorder, or both. Dysmorphic syndrome is a preoccupation with and an excessive concern about a perceived defect in your physical features. It includes an excessive or debilitating fear of being judged by others.  Dysmorphic syndrome is an overwhelming fear of not being socially accepted because of your body image.

Your may complain about several specific physical features or one single feature. You may complain about a vague feature or your physical appearance in general.

This may lead to psychological distress that impairs your ability to function socially and/or to work. Dysmorphic syndrome may cause you severe depression and anxiety or lead to the development of other anxiety disorders, social withdrawal or complete social isolation.

There are several signs and symptoms that you may experience that may indicate that you have dysmorphic syndrome. Some of these include:

• Comparing your appearance with that of others
• Being extremely self-conscious
• Picking your skin
• Excessively grooming yourself
• Either obsessively examining yourself in front of a mirror or avoiding mirrors
• A believe that other people are taking special notice of your appearance in a bad way
• Refusing to let your picture be taken
• Wearing too much makeup or clothing to cover up perceived body flaws

• Having cosmetic procedures done over and over, but not being satisfies with the results
• Being sure that you have a defect or abnormality in your personal appearance that makes you think you are ugly
• Avoiding social situations.

You or a loved one may be suffering from dysmorphic syndrome. Dysmorphic syndrome and/or complications that have resulted from it or other disorders that you have besides this syndrome may have led to you or your loved one’s disability and need for financial assistance.
