Watkins, M.D. Baltimore, MD Body Dysmorphic Disorder, (BDD) is listed in the DSM-IV under somatization disorders, but clinically, it seems to have similarities to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). BDD is a preoccupation with an imagined physical defect in appearance or a vastly exaggerated concern about a minimal defect. The preoccupation must cause significant impairment in the individual’s life. The individual thinks about his or her defect for at least an hour per day.

David Burns, M.D. This tutorial is intended to give you on overview of some key concepts in understanding and treating Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Although this is an uncommon disorder, it is an interesting one. Further, as you go through this tutorial, you will learn a tremendous amount about how my brand of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) actually works with a real person. Body Dysmorphic Disorder Tutorial Let's start with the diagnosis of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Here are the official DSM-IV diagnostic criteria: The person with BDD is preoccupied with an imagined defect in his or her appearance. This concern causes significant distress or impairment in the way the person functions. The worries about his or her appearance are not better accounted for by another disorder such as anorexia nervosa. What does this mean? Well it's pretty simple. The person with BDD believes there is something grotesque or ugly about his or her appearance and feels very upset about this imagined defect. However, other people cannot see the defect that the patient complains about. The third criterion means that you don't have some other psychiatric disorder that would explain the symptom. For example, you are probably very aware from TV programs or articles in newspapers that people with anorexia nervosa are frequently convinced they are fat, when in fact they are skinny. In fact, they are often on the verge of starving to death and look like concentration camp victimsand yet they think they are fat and need to lose weight. They don't need to be given the diagnosis of BDD because they already have a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa.

Peace, Love, and Hope Home About Me Anorexia Bulimia ... to a friend body.dysmorphic.disorder: when.the.mirror.lies No matter how much weight is lost, or no matter how much food is thrown up, the person with anorexia or bulimia will constantly see the same overweight, vile, failure in the mirror. 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 one time or another we all worry about our appearance, but when you wake up degrading your nose, hair, chest, WEIGHT, etc. and then continuing to have these thoughts all day, that's when there is a problem. Closely linked to other disorders and psychiatric conditions, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (termed shortly BDD) is a serious disorder that is growing fast. People that suffer from BDD not only dislike some aspect of how they look, they're preoccupied severely with it. Most get to the point where it is very hard to go outside or sit down comfortably, or go to work and talk to others, without thinking the self-degrading thoughts about their flaws. The thoughts soon over take the person's mind and it is all he/she can think about.

Our psychiatrist, Kristeen Spratley, M.D. discusses how to treat Body Dysmorphic Disorder (show date 6-29-02). Body Dysmorphic Disorder Symptoms and Treatment Dissatisfaction with appearance is very prevalent in our society. Over the past three decades the popular magazine Psychology Today has conducted several surveys on how people feel about the appearance of their bodies. The changing results make for interesting reading. The dramatic changes in American culture have significantly altered peoples' perceptions of themselves. In 1972, twenty-three percent of American women were dissatisfied with their appearance but by 1997 that figure had risen to fifty-six percent. In 1972, fifteen percent of men were dissatisfied with their appearance but by 1997 that figure had risen to forty-three percent. Thirty-eight percent of men are now dissatisfied with the size of their chests compared to the thirty-four percent of women dissatisfied with their breasts. Men are getting pectoral and calf implants. Millions of women have had surgery to change the shape of their breasts or increase their size. Dissatisfaction with how you look is practically the norm. However, when someone becomes intensely preoccupied with what they believe to be a defect in their appearance, then they may be suffering from a mental health condition called Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). While there may be a real basis for the concern, as for example, where acne is present, the sufferer's preoccupation is intense and excessive. Other times the perceived imperfections may not be obvious to anyone other than the person. They feel intensely tormented and tortured by what they feel makes them ugly to themselves and to those around them. It used to be called dysmorphobia and was first described by an Italian psychiatrist, Enrique Morselli, over a hundred years ago. He was aware of the intense suffering caused by the preoccupation with the imagined defect.

BBC News Online looks at the condition. What is Body Dysmorphic Disorder? People with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) worry about their appearance, believing, for example, that their skin is scarred, that they are balding or their nose is too big. They refuse to believe reassurance from others that their appearance is not abnormal. The condition's severity varies - some people can manage it, others have their lives ruined by the disorder. There have been cases of suicide linked to BDD. Dr Ian Steven, a psychologist in Edinburgh, said: "People become fixated or concerned with particular areas of their body and have difficulty accepting that there is no illness present. "Most people resolve problems by going to see a doctor or get issues addressed by expert specialists, getting it clarified that there is nothing wrong with the part of the body they are concerned about."

Phillips, M.D., is chief of outpatient services and director of the Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Body Image Program at Butler Hospital in Providence, R.I., and assistant professor of psychiatry at the Brown University School of Medicine. Youth with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) worry about some aspect of their appearance. They worry, for example, that they have pimples or that their skin is scarred or bumpy, their nose is too big, they are fat or too thin. Or they may think something else is wrong with how they look. When others tell them that they look fine or that the flaw they perceive is minimal (or nonexistent), youth with this disorder find it hard to believe this reassurance. Adolescents with BDD think a lot about their perceived physical flaw, generally for at least an hour a day. Some say they're obsessed. Most find that they don't have as much control over their thoughts about the body flaw as they would like. In addition, the appearance concern causes significant distress (for example, anxiety or depression) or it causes significant problems in functioning. Although some youth with this disorder manage to function well despite their distress, many find that their appearance concerns cause problems for them. For example, they may find it hard to concentrate on their job or schoolwork, which may suffer, and relationship problems are common. Adolescents with BDD may have few friends, avoid dating, and feel very self-conscious in social situations.

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 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

External Links Body Image and Body Dysmorphic Disorder Body Image, Body Building and Cultural Ideas of Muscularity Imagined Ugliness Sitemap Here: Home Search this site: search tips 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. People with BDD may find themselves constantly checking their appearance in the mirror. The checking is constant because they never feel reassured. In some cases the level of dissatisfaction in their appearance may lead sufferers to shun the company of other people, in work and social situations. This is partly because being with other people may lead people with BDD to compare their perceived defective parts with others and leads to an increase of anxiety. It can also be because BDD sufferers often feel that others are staring at them, noting their defects and then mocking or criticizing them behind their backs.

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.

The Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Clinic and Research Unit at MGH/Harvard Medical School was founded in 1998 by Sabine Wilhelm, Ph.D. It is one of the few clinics in the United States specializing in Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). The BDD Clinic consists of a treatment program and a research unit. Patients are treated with cognitive behavioral treatment and/or medication. The research unit currently focuses on studies regarding information processing, perception and interpretation, neuropsychology, prevalence, and treatment of BDD. Besides active clinical and research services, the clinic serves an educational purpose with research fellows and graduate students currently involved in clinical and research activities. WHAT IS BDD? Individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) are very concerned about their physical appearance, most commonly about their skin, hair, nose, or ears. Some, for example, report about having red scars, long noses, or small eyes, even if others reassure them that they look fine or that the flaw is not noticeable. Individuals with BDD frequently think about their appearance, at least for an hour per day. They often have problems controlling negative thoughts about their appearance.

Phillips, M.D. - Author of The Broken Mirror Brown University Medical College Sarah's Story Isn't Everyone Concerned About Their Appearance? Justin's Story How Do You Know if You or Someone You Care About Has BDD? It is important to remember that BDD is not a rare disorder, only an underrecognized one. It affects children, adolescents, and adults, and it affects men as well as women. How do you know it's really BDD? Diagnosing BDD can be challenging because sufferers often keep their symptoms secret due to embarrassment and shame. Often their roommates, friends, professors, and families may not realize that a serious yet treatable problem is occurring. People with BDD often worry that other will consider their concerns superficial and vain, thereby making themselves feel worse for having the symptoms of this disorder. Others may see the BDD sufferer's concerns as attention getting and will become irritated with them. In addition to being underdiagnosed, BDD can be misdiagnosed by professionals, partially because it is not yet widely recognized and also because BDD sufferers are often reluctant to discuss their symptoms. Body dysmorphic disorder consists of a preoccupation with a nonexistent or minimal defect in appearance. Some people with BDD do have a minor physical defect, like mild acne or slightly thinning hair. But the flaw is only slight. The person with BDD, however, considers the flaw to be noticeable, unattractive, even ugly. In addition, the appearance preoccupation must cause significant distress or impairment in social, academic, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

References Abstract This article presents a case study of a 17-year-old male with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), experiencing significant body changes secondary to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment. These physical changes led to dysfunctional preoccupation with his appearance and suicidal behavior, and he was eventually diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). This paper reviews the concepts of BDD and metabolic changes, with particular emphasis on lipodystrophic changes related to HIV medications. Sociodemographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and treatment modalities with special focus on the role of the nurse practitioner in recognizing and managing these conditions are presented.
