• High or moderate: This means you know your criticism or beliefs about your body are definitely or probably not true.
• Low: This level means you think your beliefs and criticism about your body are probably true.
• No insight: People who don’t have insight into their BDD often experience delusions that reinforce their beliefs, further convincing them that their negative feelings about their bodies are justified. Delusions are beliefs you hold onto very strongly, even if you have evidence that your belief isn’t true. People who don’t have insight into their condition may be unable to process or understand that their belief isn’t true. About one-third of people with BDD have this level of insight.
