Psychological symptoms of pectus excavatum

 While some people with pectus have no physical symptoms at all, they still deal with immense mental strain while dealing with the body dysmorphia that is associated with pectus. This usually starts at an early age, when children realize their bodies look different from everyone else. Throughout adolescence, people with pectus will often find any excuse to not take their shirt off, which ends up putting a strain on social life, and activities.

Intimate relationships can also be put through strain, as the anxiety of taking ones shirt off, will often be met with excuses in order to not reveal their chest.

There have been cases where the burden of the psychological symptoms over time will lead someone into clinical depression.
