It is not a variant of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. The person with an eating disorder says, "I am so fat." The person with BDD says, "I am so ugly." Not yet an official diagnosis, but may achieve that status soon. Sufferers are excessively concerned about appearance, body shape, body size, weight, perceived lack of muscles, facial blemishes, and so forth. 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. BDD often includes social phobias. Sufferers are shy and withdrawn in new situations and with unfamiliar people.

People with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) worry 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 focus on this imagined body flaw for an hour or more each day. When others tell them they look fine or that the flaw isn't noticeable, people with BDD don't listen. Body Dysmorphic Disorder - Treatment Medication combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy is the primary treatment method for body dysmorphic disorder. Medication can significantly relieve BDD symptoms and improve functioning. The medication does not cure the disorder, but it makes the patient more amenable to therapy and receiving ongoing treatment. Cognitive approaches include helping the person with BDD develop a more realistic view of their appearance.

Search the Site: news community diaries shop The Perfect Imperfection Body Dysmorphic Disorder in Teens By Carma Haley Shoemaker In the United States, greater than one-third of all women between the ages of 15 and 39 have a condition called body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). This disorder is made evident when preoccupations with body appear and especially when the preoccupations focus on one area. Body dysmorphic disorder interferes with social, career, sexual and personal relations and activities. However, there is no one cause or even one set of symptoms, which makes the issue even more pressing, especially in teen girls. What is BDD? According to Abigail Natenshon, psychotherapist and author of When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder But why? "Reasons why BDD develops come together in the context of genetic susceptibilities and temperament," says Natenshon. "In these cases, the whole can be greater and more devastating than the sum of its parts. The question why is far less significant than what to do to alleviate the emotional pain that BDD carries with it." Take Note While BDD is a dominant disorder, teens do not wear a sign on their neck to let you know it's there. Parents need to learn what it is, what it does and what to look for.

The principal areas of plastic surgery include two broad fields. Reconstructive surgery, including microsurgery, which focuses on undoing or masking the destructive effects of trauma, surgery or disease. Such surgery may include closing defects by transplantion of tissue from other parts of the body. Cosmetic (or aesthetic) surgery, which most is often done to change features the patient finds unflattering. In a few cases, however, there may be medical reasons (for example, breast reduction when orthopedic problems are present).

She believed she was magnificently ugly: I do go out sometimes, but mostly at night when no one can see me. Sometimes I go to a 24-hour grocery store at midnight, when I know no one else will be there. For a long time I've bought most of my clothes through catalogs. I'm too scared to go out - everyone will see how ugly I am.

People who suffer with Body Dysmorphic Disorder are preoccupied with a physical "defect" so tiny most people can't even see it. People with body dysmorphic disorder are not helped by plastic surgery because once one "defect" is repaired they become preoccupied with another. These people will benefit more from mental health care, in the form of medication or psychotherapy, than from cosmetic surgery.

Become a member and choose a used book from our collection as a gift! Serotonin, psilocybin and body dysmorphic disorder: A case report Karl R. Hanes, PhD Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology Body dysmorphic disorder, preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance, or excessive concern with a slight physical anomaly, has been successfully treated recently with serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication [1,2], which has led to the proposition of a possible serotonergic basis for this disorder [1,2]. Further evidence of this theory comes from reports of exacerbation of body dysmorphic disorder during tryptophan depletion [3] and use of the 5-HT antagonist cyproheptadine [4]. In support of this theory we present a case in which body dysmorphic symptoms were qualitatively altered with the ingestion of psilocybin, a potent serotonergic agent [5] in a patient who later responded to the SSRI fluoxetine. Mr A, a 27-year old Caucasian man, presented with symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder, reflecting preoccupation with perceived emaciated and gaunt cheeks, although his appearance seemed unremarkable. Mr A was an unemployed single man, who had never married. He reports that he had never engaged in a significant romantic relationship, due mainly to the fact that he had suffered social avoidance and depressive symptoms as a result of his feeling of ugliness, since the age of sixteen. He had been able to complete two years of tertiary education, but had withdrawn from his studies due to his worsening symptoms. Mr A had a long history of visits to plastic surgeons and dermatologists for treatment of his thin cheeks, and other facial preoccupations (e.g. prominent chin, facial scarring), although his appearance was normal.

For some, cosmetic surgery is a godsend an opportunity to, for example, restore a breast removed because of cancer or to correct disfiguring scars caused by acne. But for a select few, sometimes called "plastic surgery junkies," plastic surgery, especially repeat operations, is a sign of a psychiatric illness. These people may suffer from body dysmorphic disorder or "imagined ugliness", and for them, cosmetic surgery does not make them look prettier or feel better. But research may help identify those with this condition. People with body dysmorphic disorder believe they, or parts of their bodies, are horribly ugly even though they generally look fine. Expert Rod J. Rohrich, MD, says those who are easiest to spot are preoccupied with a physical "defect" so tiny most people can't even see it.

Healthinmind Mental Health Disorders Somatoform Disorders Body Dysmorphic Disorder People with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) are overly concerned about their appearance. They may appear normal to others or to have a minor defect that they greatly exaggerate in importance. As with other disorders, their preoccupation with the real or imagined defect must be the primary symptom, rather than a secondary effect of another disorder, depression for example. It appears that depression is more likely to be a consequence than a cause of BDD. The preoccupation must produce significant distress or dysfunction, as with other diagnoses; people with BDD may spend hours in front of a mirror each day, trying to correct or disguise the defect. On the other hand, they may avoid mirrors altogether, or they may seek the services of a plastic surgeon to remedy the defect. Some specialists consider BDD to be a type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder , since the person with BDD engages in rituals to reduce the anxiety associated with her or his perception of his or her appearance. Women suffer BDD more than men, but, surprisingly, the ratio is only 1.3 to 1, according to Maxem and Ward
