In a recent interview with Talk Magazine, even beauty goddess Uma Thurman admitted to struggling with the disorder - one that has its victims feeling that they are simply not attractive. The lanky 6-foot blonde admitted to "being troubled about her weight" ever since giving birth to her daughter, Maya, in July 1998. Thurman, whose beauty and bodacious body are celebrated world-wide, has recently been named the spokesmodel for Lancome's Miracle perfume. She also stars in a new movie released this week, Golden Bowl.

When minor flaws loom large in the mirror Professor leads way in recognizing, treating body dysmorphic disorder By Kristen Lans W ith her long strawberry-blond hair, large green eyes and beautiful complexion, 22-year-old Jennifer would be considered attractive by any standards. She reminded Katharine A. Phillips of the captain of a high school cheerleading squad, but there had been no crisp fall afternoons on the sidelines of the football field for Jennifer: She had dropped out of high school, and was steadily dropping out of public life. "I'm too scared to go out - everyone will see how ugly I am," Jennifer told Phillips, the assistant professor of psychiatry who diagnosed the young woman with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Phillips, director of the Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Body Image Program at Butler Hospital, is one of the nation's foremost experts of BDD, in which sufferers are obsessed with perceived flaws in their appearance to the extent that it disrupts their life, and at its extreme can lead to thoughts of suicide. Jennifer purchased clothes through catalogs, went to the food store during the middle of the night, and rarely ventured out of her parents' home during the day because she believed her skin was pimpled and scarred, Phillips wrote in her book on the disorder, "The Broken Mirror."

The Brown University News Bureau Distributed September 26, 1997 Contact: Mark Nickel When the mirror holds you captive They think they're ugly: Treating a debilitating body-image disorder Dr. Katharine A. Phillips offers hope for sufferers of body dysmorphic disorder, a little-known disease in which people obsess about imagined flaws in their appearance. Antidepressants and cognitive-behavioral therapy may provide relief. (See also release number PROVIDENCE, R.I. When Jennifer sought psychiatric help, she was 22 years old with long strawberry-blond hair, large green eyes and a beautiful complexion. She believed she was magnificently ugly: I do go out sometimes, but mostly at night when no one can see me. Sometimes I go to a 24-hour grocery store at midnight, when I know no one else will be there. For a long time I've bought most of my clothes through catalogs. I'm too scared to go out - everyone will see how ugly I am. Jennifer had body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a debilitating disorder in which sufferers are obsessed with imagined flaws in their appearance. In The Broken Mirror: Understanding and Treating Body Dysmorphic Disorder (Oxford University Press), Katharine A. Phillips, M.D., writes about Jennifer and others afflicted with BDD.

Women In Providence, Rhode Island, Good Medicine met two young women who did just that, battling what American doctors have labelled Body Dysmorphic Disorder or BDD. Essentially this means an individual is obsessed with a very small defect in their appearance or imagines a defect in their appearance where there is none. Dr Ralph Albertini and Dr Katherine Phillips specialise in the treatment of BDD. They say while there are close links with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, BDD is much more serious. Dr Phillips says patients with BDD have a lot more shame, a sense of embarrassment and unworthiness and also tend to think about suicide and, in some cases, even attempt suicide.

But for people with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) this anxiety is constant, and they’ll go to devastating lengths to change or mask the way they look. Even more disturbing is that some people with BDD are having repeated cosmetic surgery when they shouldn’t even be getting a look in. This week, the stories of people with BDD and their quest for “surgery of the psyche”.

Today the distressing experience that is Body Dysmorphic Disorder, no doubt you’ve heard by now of Botox a popular product based on the toxin that causes botulism. People are injecting it into their wrinkles in order to look young and smoothed skinned.

51. ::: Body Dysmorphic Disorder ::: What is body dysmorphic disorder? People with body dysmorphic disorder(BDD) worry about their appearance. body dysmorphic disorder. http://www.geocities.com/gina_rlp/bdd.html

What is Body Dysmorphic Disorder? People with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) worry about their appearance. They worry, for example, that their skin is scarred, their hair is thinning, their nose is too big, or something else is wrong with how they look. When others tell them that they look fine or that the flaw they perceive is minimal, people with this disorder find it hard to believe this reassurance. People with BDD think a lot about their perceived appearance 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 concerns cause significant distress (for example, anxiety or depression) or significant problems in functioning. Although some people 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 school work, which may suffer, and relationship problems are common. People with BDD may have few friends, avoid dating, miss school, and feel very self-conscious in social situations. The severity of BDD varies. Some people experience manageable distress and are able to function well, although not up to their potential. Others find that this disorder ruins their life.

Iemand die aan ‘Body Dysmorphic Disorder’ (BDD) lijdt, heeft een verkeerd en negatief beeld van het eigen lichaam.  Mensen die hier last van hebben zijn vaak geobsedeerd door een bepaald uiterlijk kenmerk. Ze piekeren bijvoorbeeld voortdurend over een te grote neus, te dikke dijen of te dun haar. De meeste mensen maken zich wel eens zorgen om dit soort dingen, maar iemand die aan BDD lijdt, is er in gedachten constant mee bezig, kijkt veel en lang in de spiegel en probeert het ‘gebrek’ op allerlei manieren te verhullen. Ongeveer 1 tot 2 % van de mensen heeft last van BDD. Soms durven ze geen contacten meer te leggen en zijn ze zwaar depressief. Als je denkt dat je dit aan het ontwikkelen bent, zoek dan hulp. Het is heel moeilijk dit probleem alleen op te lossen.

56. Body Dysmorphic Disorder The Plastic Surgery Support Site body dysmorphic disorder The essentialfeature of body dysmorphic disorder (historically known http://www.cosmeticsupport.com/mh/bdd.html

The Plastic Surgery Support Site Body Dysmorphic Disorder "The essential feature of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (historically known as dysmorphobia) is a preoccupation with a defect in appearance. The defect is either imagined, or, if a slight physical anomaly is present, the individual's concern is markedly excessive. The preoccupation must cause significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning... Complaints commonly involve imagined or slight flaws of the face or head such as hair thinning, acne, wrinkles, scars, vascular markings, paleness or redness of the complexion, swelling, facial asymmetry or disproportion, or excessive facial hair. Other common preoccupations include the shape, size or some other aspect of the nose, eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, ears, mouth, lips, teeth, jaw, chin, cheeks or head. However, any other body part may be the focus of concern (e.g., the genitals, breasts, buttocks, abdomen, arms, hands, feet, legs, hips, shoulders, spine, larger body regions, or overall body size). The preoccupation may simultaneously focus on several body parts. Although the complaint is often specific, it is sometimes vague. Because of embarrassment over their concerns, some individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder avoid describing their 'defects' in detail and may instead refer only to their general ugliness. Most individuals with this disorder experience marked distress over their supposed deformity, often describing their preoccupations as 'intensely painful', 'tormenting', or 'devastating'. Most find their preoccupations difficult to control, and they may make little or no attempt to resist them. As a result, they often spend hours a day thinking about their 'defect', to the point where these thoughts may dominate their lives. Significant impairment in many areas of functioning generally occurs. Feelings of self-consciousness about their 'defect' may lead to avoidance of work or public situations.

BDD often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed, however, due to patients' reluctance to divulge their symptoms because of secrecy and shame. Any body part can be the focus of concern (most often, the skin, hair, and nose), and most patients engage in compulsive behaviors, such as mirror checking, camouflaging, excessive grooming, and skin picking. Approximately half are delusional, and a majority experience ideas or delusions of reference. overview reviews resources Buy one James Bond DVD for £15.99 and get one free!
