The problem becomes a psychological issue when these tendencies are taken to unhealthy extremes, without voluntary control, in an attempt to transfigure body self-perception under false canons of approval or to try to mitigate unbalanced aspects of the personality that may be externalized as guilt or shame. Early diagnosis and early intervention by the mental health professional are key to the patient's evolution.
