  • ABOUT Body Dysmorphic Disorder

What Is Body Dysmorphic Disorder?

Body dysmorphic disorder – often shortened to BDD – refers to a mental health condition characterized by persistent concentration on real or perceived body flaws.
If you think about the defects in your own appearance – face and body – all the time, you are contemplating or signing up for procedures that will drastically change the way you look, making you unrecognizable, and it is too important for you what others think or say about your appearance, it is time to consider professional BDD help.

  • Eating Disorders

How Does BDD Co-Occur With Eating Disorders?

A person with BDD often chooses to control their nutritional intake or spend a lot of time exercising to lose weight or improve their body shape which can easily turn into bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, or compulsive exercise disorder. When you are diagnosed with body dysmorphia disorder, mental health specialists ask you to answer truthfully about the frequency of your meals, your eating habits, and your genuine emotions towards the food so that they can recognize the symptoms of an eating disorder – early detection and diagnosis can alleviate the manifestations of BDD which harms your psyche.

Co-occurring BDD treatment is the right solution because therapists and psychiatrists look at the whole picture and examine your overall health instead of focusing on a specific symptom or getting rid of an issue without learning what caused it initially.
