Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ)
The BIDQ is a brief self-report questionnaire screening for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a disorder characterized by preoccupation with a perceived defect in appearance and repetitive behaviours (mirror checking, grooming, comparing with others). Developed by Castle and colleagues, the BIDQ focuses on the core diagnostic features of BDD: appearance concern, functional impairment, and repetitive behaviours. It is used in clinical, cosmetic dermatology, and research settings to identify individuals who may have BDD.
