<unk>  <unk>  is a common symptom in patients with eating disorders and is characterized by an altered perception of one's own<unk> . The onset is mainly attributed to patients with anorexia nervosa who persistently tend to subjectively discern themselves as average or overweight despite adequate, clinical grounds for a classification of being considerably or severely underweight. The symptom is an altered perception of one's<unk>  and a severe state of bodily dissatisfaction characterizing the<unk> . It is included among the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa in DSM-5 (criterion C). The<unk>  is associated with significant bodily dissatisfaction and is a source of severe distress, often persisting even after seeking treatment for an eating disorder, and is regarded as difficult to treat. Thus, effective<unk><unk>  interventions could improve the prognosis of patients with ED, as experts have suggested. However, there is no hard evidence that current treatments for<unk>  effectively reduce eating disorder symptoms. Furthermore, pharmacotherapy is ineffective in reducing<unk>  misperception and it has been used to focus on correlated psychopathology (e.g., mood or anxiety disorders). However, to date, research and clinicians are developing new therapies such as virtual reality experiences, mirror exposure, or multisensory integration<unk>  techniques, which have shown some extent of efficacy.
