Imagined halitosis: a social phobia symptom?
Imagined halitosis is poorly documented in the psychiatric literature. It is perhaps best thought of as a symptom rather than as a specific syndrome (a collection of symptoms that co-vary together). Many of the cases with imagined halitosis described in the literature resemble the psychiatric syndrome of social phobia.
