BDD can take over your life, making it difficult to enjoy social activities or even everyday tasks. If you find yourself obsessing over your appearance, you’re not alone, there is help available.
These flaws are usually minor or imagined, but to the person with BDD, they can feel overwhelmingly real and significant. This disorder can lead to intense distress, anxiety, and avoidance of social situations.
At Mon Therapy, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments to help individuals manage and overcome BDD:
Focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with body image.
Helps individuals gradually confront their fears and reduce compulsive behaviors.
Antidepressants, such as SSRIs, can be effective in reducing the symptoms of BDD.
Encourages individuals to focus on the present moment and reduce anxiety related to appearance concerns.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a significant but often under-recognized mental health issue in Pakistan. Cultural emphasis on appearance and societal beauty standards can exacerbate the condition, particularly in urban areas where media and social pressures are more intense.
Despite its prevalence, BDD remains underdiagnosed, with many individuals suffering in silence due to stigma and lack of awareness.
