Adolescents are a particularly vulnerable group to developing dysmorphophobia because they experience strong changes in their bodies and self-esteem. At the same time, it is very difficult to diagnose and treat dysmorphophobia in adolescents, since there are few specialized means of assessment and intervention, as well as a lack of awareness and education between medical workers and parents [1-4]. Over the past decade, most children's and adolescent media have had a vague attitude towards the perception of body image due to the influence of Internet sites that impose standards of fashion models on modern youth. The relevance of the problem of studying the risk of developing suicidal tendencies of depressive genesis in adolescents with dysmorphophobic diseases is due to difficulties in timely examination of Affective pathology, the expediency of properly selected pharmacotherapy and difficulties in predicting these mental disorders [5-9]. Depression, which occurs against the background of dissatisfaction with one's own appearance or confidence in the presence of defects and defects in the structure of the face or figure, occurs in almost every second teenager [10-13]. Adolescence is characterized by significant changes in the physical and psychological development of a person. During this period, the emphasis is on her appearance and compliance with the social standards of beauty. However, for some adolescents, this can lead to the development of dysmorphophobia-pathological dissatisfaction with their body or its individual parts, not proportional to real defects or not at all [14-18]. Dysmorphophobia can be accompanied by depression, anxiety, social isolation, self-harming behaviors, and suicidal thoughts. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment of this disorder in adolescents is an urgent task [19-23]. The problem of dysmorphophobia is becoming more and more relevant in society. In different areas of life, and especially in their own body, a stable increase in the dissatisfaction of 8 41 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2024 VOLUME 3 / ISSUE 2 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ people is observed: appearance, weight, body ratio. Particular attention from researchers at the end of the 20th century to the problem of dysmorphophobia was associated with an increase in the popularity of cosmetic procedures [24-29]]. Dissatisfaction with oneself and your body has long been common, and the "socialization and normalization" of dysmorphophobia forces the attention of doctors, social workers and clinical psychologists [30-34]. The relevance of the psychological aspects of dysmorphophobia is confirmed by statistics that reflect a high prevalence of this disorder. In the population, the frequency of dysmorphophobia is 0,7 – 2,4%, in general psychiatric samples – 13-16%, in dermatology – 9-12%, in cosmetic deontology-9,5% and in orthodontics-7,5% [35-38]. Imagining one's own appearance is part of one's thoughts about oneself and one's place in society. Appearance is an important education in the structure of an individual, whose specific understanding affects interpersonal and emotional spheres, as well as objective life processes [39- 41]. It is widely known in our society that harmony is associated with happiness, youth, success in life, high social status, and excess weight with weakness, laziness, weakness and other negative traits. Therefore, many tend to rate overweight people as less happy, more confident, smarter, and more disciplined. Full children are often ridiculed and insulted by their peers, often being persecuted [42-47]. Overweight and obesity are associated with dissatisfaction with body image and low self-esteem. Diet and physical activity and preference for slimness to control weight are becoming increasingly relevant in today's society, especially among teenage girls. It can be assumed that this relationship affects self-esteem and does not affect success in life. The leading co
