Body dysmorphic disorder, also known as body dysmorphia, can be an incredibly difficult condition to live with. It can affect your psychological, social and physical health, and can negatively affect your relationships. If it’s left untreated, it can continue to worsen and can have a very large negative effect on your quality of life.

If you feel like you are struggling to cope with your symptoms, the best thing to do is to speak to a mental health professional. If you are unable to speak to a health professional, you can try speaking to a trusted family member or friend about your symptoms to see if they can support you whilst you look for professional help.
