With a Foreword by Professor Katharine Phillips and an Introduction
by Professor David Veale and Doctor Rob Willson. Body dysmorphic
disorder (BDD) is characterised by a preoccupation with a perceived
defect, or defects, in one's appearance. These 'flaws' are either
unnoticeable to the outside eye or seen as nothing more than a
normal physical variation. To the person with BDD however, the
abhorred aspects of their appearance cause significant shame and
distress. Some hide away and become housebound, sometimes for many
years. BDD affects males and females almost equally and has one of
the highest suicide rates of any mental illness. Despite the
extreme suffering experienced by people with BDD, it is possible to
learn to cope with and even completely move beyond it. The stories
in this volume powerfully attest to this. Gathered here are
thirty-six lived experiences of people with BDD and their loved
ones. They are stories of tremendous bravery, immeasurable
determination and incredible hope.
