Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) occurs when one is so preoccupied with a perceived flaw in their appearance that it begins to interfere in normal life activities. BDD can become so severe that it leads to thoughts of suicide. While there is no consensus on what causes BDD, many experts agree that a combination of talk therapy and medication are often the best treatment.
