Olfactory Reference Syndrome



Olfactory Reference Syndrome (ORS) describes the psychiatric condition of being excessively concerned that one's body odor is foul or unpleasant. This disorder can be accompanied by shame, embarrassment, significant distress, avoidance behavior and social isolation.[1] ORS is considered by many to be a sub-type of Body dysmorphic disorder.
