Do I have BDD?
Take the test

This test was developed by BDD


specialists as an inital screening to
understand whether someone might
have Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

This questionnaire has two main uses.

1. It can be used as a screening questionnaire to tell


whether you might have BDD.
2. The questionnaire can also be used as a measure of
the severity of your symptoms so you can use it
before and after any treatment and provide feedback
on whether your symptoms have improved or not.
The questionnaire comprises of just 9 items. The
range is 0-72 where 72 is the most severe.

Your assessment

COPS - Do I have BDD?

You scored 36 out of the maximum total of 72.


 
Higher scores reflect greater distress and interference
in your life and the likelihood of a diagnosis of BDD.
 
If you scored 40 or more, we would recommend that
you seek an assessment, as you are likely to have BDD.
 
If you scored between 30 and 40, you may still have
BDD and may still benefit from an assessment.
 
You are unlikely to have BDD if you scored below 30.
 
You can repeat the questionnaire at any time during
treatment to see if there any changes in your
symptoms.

Thank you

Before you take the test, it’s important


that you note that:

Only a trained health professional can


make a diagnosis of BDD, although the
questionnaire can help guide you and
your health professional.
The questionnaire assumes that you do
NOT have a disfigurement or a defect
that is easily noticeable. The judgment
on how noticeable your feature(s) can
be made by a health professional.
