Given this information, what possible underlying psychological disorder might have been present

Answer 1

Body dysmorphic disorder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim Jimson may have body dysmorphic disorder. The main characteristics of this disorder are the obsession with imperfections in one part of the body. These imperfections can be very suitable or inexistent, but the person does not perceive them that way. They obsess over their imperfections and how to correct or conceal them, sometimes undergoing cosmetic surgery for it, like in this case. They are constantly aware of their defects and feel anxious or sad due to them. It is a disorder that mostly appears in teenagers and young adults.
