Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental illness where a person becomes obsessed over the way he or she looks. Reid also was diagnosed with the same illness, and the only thing that mattered to him was his looks. He used to take pictures of himself from every angle and analyzing every feature.
Soon he started seeing imperfections that weren't apparent to others, and as a matter of fact, he underwent several cosmetic surgeries to fix the things that he sees wrong with himself.
