Values are expressed as mean ± SD or as n (%). BDD-CGI severity indicates CGI scale for BDD severity; BDD-CGI improvement, CGI scale for BDD improvement.

a

2 = 1 to 3 hours per day, 3 = >3 to 8 hours per day.

b

1 = mild interference, 2 = moderate interference, 3 = severe interference.

c

1 = mild distress, 2 = moderate distress, 3 = severe distress.

d

3 = mildly ill, 4 = moderately ill, 5 = markedly ill.
