Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent and distressing preoccupation with perceived flaws or defects in one’s physical appearance that are not noticeable or only minor to others. People with BDD often spend hours a day checking, grooming, or comparing their appearance to others, and may also engage in compulsive behaviors such as skin picking, seeking cosmetic procedures, or avoiding social situations.
BDD can affect individuals of any gender, age, or cultural background and may lead to significant impairment in social, occupational, and personal functioning. It is often associated with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
Treatment for BDD typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and support from family and friends. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown to be effective in treating BDD, as it helps individuals learn to challenge and change their negative beliefs and thoughts about their appearance. Medications such as antidepressants may also be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
