Analyze the influence of external factors on health beliefs and behaviors.
Analyze the influence of external factors on health beliefs and behaviors.
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) causes people to believe that parts of their body look ugly. People with BDD spend hours focused on what they think is wrong with their looks. Many times a day, they do things to check, fix, cover up, or ask others about their looks. They focus on flaws that seem minor to others.
This can be tied directly to a unit on self-esteem and/or eating disorders.
This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
