Body dysmorphic disorder Sufferers are excessively concerned about appearance, in particular perceived flaws of face, hair, and skin. They are convinced these flaws exist in spite of reassurances from friends and family members who usually can see nothing to justify such intense worry and anxiety. The person with an eating disorder says, "I am so fat." The person with BDD says, "I am so ugly." BDD is thought to be a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is not a variant of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. BDD often includes social phobias. Sufferers are shy and withdrawn in new situations and with unfamiliar people. BDD affects about two percent of the people in the United States. It strikes males and females equally. Seventy percent of cases appear before age eighteen. BDD sufferers are at elevated risk for despair and suicide. In some cases they undergo multiple, unnecessary plastic surgeries. BDD is treatable and begins with an evaluation by a physician and mental health care provider. Treatments thus far found to be effective include medication (especially meds that adjust serotonin levels in the brain) and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A clinician makes the diagnosis and recommends treatment based on the needs and circumstances of each person.

References When It's More This is in no way an attack on anyone or a matter of disbelief of the viable reason for depression you may be going through. This is a proven concern and the rate of incidence is alarming. Depression can be from medications, anesthesia, mental trauma, pre-existing psychological disorders, unrealistic expectations or post-operative pain, complications, lack of communication, surgeon error or normal after effects that the patient was not aware he or she would experience. I actually did not believe in nor did I agree with disorders such as the newly diagnosed and much thrown around Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) until I came across several patients who in fact DID have it and kept getting surgery to attain a happiness that surgery would never bring them. Obviously the disorder itself has always been around, and seemingly either the diagnoses have increased or the cases, in general, have increased. However, so has the population so one probably cannot make a truly informed opinion without examination of persons with BDD in the past or their case notes. Regardless, it is a real problem and it must be treated with delicacy. No one wants to be told they have BDD. But having friends with BDD, I can say that it was a wonderful day once they realized they did indeed have an issue with their body image and sought help.

Body dysmorphic disorder - a severe form of body image dissatisfaction - is a type of anxiety disorder. People with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) worry about their appearance. They worry, for example, that their body is fat, their skin is ugly, their hair is thinning, their nose is too big, or something else is wrong with the physical appearance of their body. They can worry about their body flaw for an hour or more each day. Body Dysmorphic Disorder - Distorted Body Perceptions Those with BDD have several distorted beliefs about a perceived body flaw. When others tell them they look fine or that the flaw isn't noticeable, people with this disorder don't hear or believe it. Body Dysmorphic Disorder - Consequences The person with BDD may also experience periods of depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts because of their preoccupation with their perceived body problem. Although some people with body dysmorphic disorder manage to function well despite their distress, many are more seriously affected by the disorder. For example, they may find it hard to concentrate on their job or school work, which may suffer, and relationship problems are common. People with BDD may have few friends, avoid dating, miss school, and feel very self-conscious in social situations. Some BDD sufferers even contemplate suicide.

"The rate of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in inpatient psychiatric settings and the nature of the presenting complaints are unknown. Because of the shame and humiliation that BDD patients suffer, we hypothesized that, unless specifically screened for at the time of admission, BDD would be underdiagnosed in psychiatric inpatients. . . . . Sixteen (13.1%) of the 122 subjects were diagnosed with BDD. None of the subjects with BDD had been diagnosed with BDD by their treating physician during hospitalization. All 16 subjects reported that they would not raise the issue with their physician unless specifically asked due to feelings of shame" (Grant et al. 2001:517). Neuro-notes .

WHAT IS BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER? Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a condition that involves an intense preoccupation with a particular aspect(s) of physical appearance in a normal appearing person. Although individuals can become preoccupied with any aspect of their appearance, concern with facial features is the most common. Patients may complain, for example, that their nose is too large nose, their hairline is receding, or they have facial blemishes. BDD first appeared in the scientific literature in 1886 when a researcher by the name of Morselli provided a detailed description of the disorder. He conceputalized BDD as a subjective feeling of ugliness terming it "dysmorphophobia." It was later referred to as "imagined ugliness." The current psychiatric diagnostic manual (DSM-IV) provides the following criteria for diagnosis of BDD: Preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance. If a slight physical anomaly is present, the person's concern is markedly excessive. The preoccupation causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning. The preoccupation is not better accounted for by another mental disorder, such as anorexia nervosa.

Body dysmorphic disorder From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Body dysmorphic disorders cover a range of personality disorders where a person is dissatisfied with his/her body. This classification can apply to people with eating disorders , as well as people who are excessively obsessed with plastic surgery (especially body modification ), fanatical body-builders, and anabolic steroid abusers. Some people can also become convinced that some parts of their bodies need to be removed, and that only through amputation of a limb can their bodies become "whole". This disorder, known as apotemnophilia , is hard for other people to understand, as it appears to defy common sense. In the medical community, some make links between BDD and obsessive-compulsive disorder because of symptoms exhibited by sufferers of both disorders. Note that this disorder is not related to gender identity disorder or transsexualism . Even though the desire to modify one's body is mirrored in BDD, the stated reasons differ and the symptoms are not similar. Furthermore, some people with gender identity disorder also do not express any desire to change their bodies also.

Bigorexia Pica Pica, a widely misunderstood phenomenon, is defined as a compulsive craving for eating, chewing or licking non-food items or foods containing no nutrition. These can include such things as chalk, plaster, paint chips, baking soda, starch, glue, rust, ice, coffee grounds, and cigarette ashes. It may sometimes be linked to certain mineral deficiencies (i.e., iron or zinc). Pica can be associated with, developmental delays, mental deficiencies and/or a family history of the disorder. There may be psychological disturbances that lead to Pica as well, such as conditions in which a child lives in a low-income or poor family, or who lives in an environment of little love and support. Because of the inherent danger in eating non-food items, it is extremely important that an individual suffering with Pica be evaluated by a doctor, given the correct diagnosis, and treated promptly. The treatment that will follow will depend on the causes of the behavior. If the compulsion is driven by a vitamin or mineral deficiency, supplements will be prescribed; Examination of the home environment, behavior-modification therapy and psychological treatment may also be needed. Pica is fairly common in pregnant women and symptoms usually disappear following the birth of the child.
