This typically leads to very destructive and even deadly methods of weight loss in a desperate attempt to lose the distorted perception - in this case, fat (failure). It is very hard, though, for anyone that does not have an eating disorder to be able to understand just how someone could do this to themselves - go through hospitilizations and near death experiences even - but continually see themselves so distorted. Even though Body Dysmorphic disorder isn't just shown in cases of eating disorders (someone afflicted with BDD can obsess not about weight, but instead about their hair, nose, chest, etc.), it still hurts and ruins the lives of whoever is afflicted with it. about.body.dysmorphic.disorder

At Health, Inc. Consumer Disorders and Conditions advertisement Body Image and Body Dysmorphic Disorder Athealth.com is pleased to welcome J. Kevin Thompson, PhD, co-author of Exacting Beauty: Theory, Assessment, and Treatment of Body Image Disturbance , who answers questions about body image and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Athealth.com : Tell us about your professional background. Dr. Thompson : I am a professor of psychology in the Department of Psychology at the University of South Florida, where I have been since 1985. I received my PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Georgia in 1982. Athealth.com : How did you become interested in problems related to body image? Dr. Thompson : My early work was in the treatment of obesity and in the development of strategies to increase participation in physical fitness programs. These interests evolved into a focus on eating disorders in the early 80s at a time when bulimia nervosa was just becoming recognized as a clinical disorder. My early work in eating disorders focused on body image, with findings that body dissatisfaction was not limited to individuals with anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia nervosa, but was, in fact, present in individuals without eating disorders. Since the mid-80s, my work has consisted of a variety of studies focused on body image in diverse samples, such as in athletes, plastic surgery patients, adolescents, adults, and individuals of different ethnicity and countries.

Contact Us: click here to email us BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER (BDD) The primary distinguishing feature of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is an obsessive preoccupation with a perceived defect in one's physical appearance. BDD obsessions may manifest as excessive, disproportionate concerns about a minor flaw, or as recurrent, anxiety-provoking thoughts about an entirely imagined defect. The obsessions are most frequently focused on the head and face, but may involve any body part. BDD goes beyond normal concern with one's appearance, and may significantly impair academic and professional functioning, as well as interpersonal relationships. In extreme cases, an individual may completely shun any contact with people in an effort to avoid having the defect being observed by others. Common BDD obsessions involve: Moles and freckles being too large or noticeable Acne Minor scars or skin aberrations Too much facial or body hair Too little hair on head Size and/or shape of genitalia Breast size Muscles being too small Overall size, shape and/or symmetry of the face or another body part

8. Behavioral Treatment Of Body Dysmorphic Disorder Article on behavioral therapy for this condition. Written by Dr. Fred Penzel of Western Suffolk Psychological Services in Long Island, New York. http://www.homestead.com/westsuffolkpsych/BDD.html

Behavioral Treatment of Body Dysmorphic Disorder By Frederick Penzel, Ph.D. The two major modes of treatment which I normally recommend for BDD are the same as those for OCD medication and behavioral therapy. The fact that medication can help seems to point to a biological basis for BDD. As in OCD, success with medication varies from person to person and the same drugs that seem to help with OCD Anafranil, Prozac, and others, seem to help completely. For instance, it can reduce the thoughts of deformity, but not always completely eliminate them. Also, a lot of the checking and questioning habits can remain, even when thoughts are reduced. Our second aim is to prevent the behaviors just mentioned, that sufferers use to reassure themselves and terminate the anxiety. Homework for the response prevention part of the treatment can typically include such things as not inspecting body parts by eye or in mirrors, refraining from questioning others or seeking reassurance, wearing previously avoided clothes that remind the person of the deformity or accentuate what they imagine it is, not consulting physicians or surgeons, not running away from or avoiding situations where they imagine they are being scrutinized by others, etc. A good example of a treatment situation was the case of a man who believed he had numerous spots, or marks on his face. Others could not see them. He did convince a reluctant dermatologist to try different therapies on him, including several laser treatments. This treatment never produced satisfactory resultsthe spots never seemed to go away. He finally sought therapy. His behavioral treatment involved listening to tapes telling him how ugly the marks made him, how because they would never go away, and that he would be deformed for life. Additionally, he was instructed to cease visiting the dermatologist, to stop spending hours stating at his face in the mirror and to not question friends or relatives about his appearance. He felt quite anxious and nervous at the start of treatment, but the above instructions, combined with antidepressant therapy, resulted in recovery over a three-month period.

Advanced Search AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 60/No. 6 (October 15, 1999) In Pursuit of Perfection: A Primary Care Physician's Guide to Body Dysmorphic Disorder JAMES R. SLAUGHTER, M.D., and ANN M. SUN, M.D. W hether by means of television, newspapers or magazines, we are constantly presented with images of perfect faces and bodies. While maturing in such an environment, the impressionable adolescent develops a mental image of how the ideal man or woman should appear. Persons who become preoccupied with perfection often view themselves as imperfect and may develop a distorted picture of their own body and face. This perception can lead to unhealthy behaviors such as eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Often, the primary care physician has the first opportunity to intervene with these patients. Definitions and Etiology Patients with BDD are excessively preoccupied with a minor or an imagined defect of a specific body part, resulting in impaired social, academic or occupational functioning. Body image is defined as a mental picture of the size, shape and form of our body. It also describes our feelings about these physical characteristics. Body image is divided into the following two components: how we perceive the appearance of our body and our attitude toward our body. A significantly distorted perception of the body may lead to self-destructive behaviors aimed at improving the appearance of the body.

First published: October 2000 Body Dysmorphic Disorder by Michael Sones This condition often goes undiagnosed and the sufferer may seek repeated cosmetic surgery to remedy the imagined defects. People with this disorder commonly complain about flaws of the head or face. They may be preoccupied with the size and shape of noses, eyes, ears and mouths, eyebrows, chins, and jaws. People may also agonize over the real or imagined appearance of wrinkles, the shade of their skin, the degree of facial symmetry, or thinning hair. This intensive and time-consuming preoccupation may also focus on other body parts, such as arms, legs, tummy, hips, and genitals. Where the person's obsessive interest is in their weight, body shape and size, a differential diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa may be made.

SLaM Other Eating Disorders Compulsive (over)eating People with this eating disorder eat according to emotional cues rather than the physiological cues of hunger and satiation. While everyone might 'comfort eat' from time to time, compulsive over-eaters do this consistently, as a way of filling a void they feel inside, 'stuffing' down emotional problems, and coping with daily stresses. They tend to be (but are not always) overweight, and feel terrible shame not only about their behaviour, but also about the effect (real or imagined) that it has on their weight. NB: The Eating Disorder does not provide treatment for compulsive eating.
