Therapy For Body Image Disorder

Body Image

Everyone has certain physical features that they don’t like about themselves.  These features could be feet, nose, ears, knees or even hair.  This is normal and most people don’t let it effect their daily lives.  However, if you tend to ruminate about these perceived flawed body parts for more than a couple hours a day, you might be suffering from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). BDD is a serious disease that many times can effect individuals quality of life by hindering their ability to interact with friends or family and can cause them to isolate themselves.  Other physical problems and mental disorders can arise if not treated properly.
