Psychiatric diagnoses—including BDD—are made primarily by asking questions to determine if an individual “meets the criteria” for the disorder, as determined by the DSM-5. There are as yet no blood tests, brain-scanning techniques, or other tools sufficient to diagnose psychiatric disorders, although such tools are being developed.
