Tools for data collection: A structured Interview Questionnaire to collect socio-demographic and clinical data of the studied sample, Self-Compassion Scale, Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire and Patient Health Questionnaire. Results: The findings revealed that more than half of the studied patients had a moderate level of self-compassion, more than half had moderate level of body image disturbance, while half of them had moderately severe level of depression. Conclusion: There was a highly statistically significant negative correlation between total self-compassion, total body image disturbance and total severity of depression, while there was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between total body image disturbance and total depressive symptoms.
