Abstract
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a chronic and
disabling condition, characterized by a preoccupation with an
imagined or slight defect in appearance [1]. This disorder is
extremely distressing and causes poor functioning as well as
decreased quality of life. Methodology: A systematic review
of the literature was conducted to determine whether
differences in patient outcomes existed when using cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT) versus selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs) in the treatment of BDD. Results: After a
review of the literature, it was found that aggressive
treatment using both CBT and SSRIs together proved to be
more successful in preventing reoccurrence of BDD
symptoms than using either treatment alone. Conclusion:
Sufficient evidence stands that using CBT and SSRI
treatments separately are effective in the treatment of BDD,
but using both treatments together proves to be more
efficacious and produce better patient outcomes
