Body dysmorphic disorder is a relatively common disorder seen by psychiatrists as well as other physicians from various specialties. The main feature of the disorder is intense preoccupation with either imaginary or real, but minor imperfections in one?s appearance. Symptoms usually emerge in adolescence or young adulthood and may remain undiagnosed. In this article, we presented a case who had started taking low dose benzodiazepines to calm down the anxiety caused by frontoparietal hair loss which he defined as ?empty areas that catch my eye continously?, and addicted to this drug.
