I don't think I agree that 99.999% of people have it. Many people have issues about their looks/body - but that is very different from having BDD....
Hun it is worth probably seeing another doctor. See your GP if you can and arrange a 2nd opinion. You are certainly entitled to ask for that on the NHS and shuold be given an appointment..... I think its probably not as well known about because other things are more common..... Sorry you think you may have it :hug:

If it really affects your life it is worth doing I'm sorry but I would have to say that quote was not realy necesary given that no one even argued here... I hope Calisse didn't get offended, moreover I know she is smart enough to realise pople sometimes make mestakes while expresing themselves....
And Babalu I realy hope you can find a good therapist to get you through this but you have to be willing to cooperete hun...
Love, Tiny
Hi Adam, yeah i have BDD but am pleased to say im getting to a point where im hopefully getting on top of it.
Dont want to start up the 'argument' again, but BDD is not the same as having issues with the way you look, or problems with certain parts of your body. BDD is so severe that it takes over your entire life and consumes your thoughts. every little thing in your life will be affected and dependant upon your perception of the way you look. You will have severe anxiety and distress which will impair your ability to function socially, occupationally and all other areas of life. In short it swallows you whole.
If you ever wanna chat Adam pm me and ill endevour to help if i can.

that was a very good discription Rich.... It all boils down to
HOW DOES IT EFFECT YOUR LIFE.... we all have minamil amounts of many disorders... from OCD to ADD to Depression...
before we can be diagnosed the symptoms of most mental illnesses have to meet the criteron that it hinders our ability to function.. enjoy and particapate in life....
many of us can be overly preocupied with things in our life but untill it begins to interfere with living our life .... it is not a disorder....
If you indeed have BDD the sooner you enter therapy the better... It is notning that will go away on its own.....
good luck .. and thank you to everyone who cared enough to reply ... all input is appreciated because it is given with concern and caring

Definatly. Totally agree with you and Rich
I hate it when people say things like "you know we all go through what you are you know, yours is just a little bit worse." To be honest just about everyone has something they dont like about themselves but its where you draw the line and at what point do you actually think something is wrong.But then i do realise that you'l never really understand it unless you've gone through it.
Its a terrible illness and its caused so many other things, for me anyway, such as agrophobia, depression ect. I hope you guys all make a full recovery! None of you deserve this at all x
