What if your eyes weren’t always telling you the truth? Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is an anxiety disorder where a person becomes preoccupied with perceived flaws in their appearance that may be minor or entirely imagined. It’s not about being self-conscious or vain, and it’s not a choice. If you’re noticing constant appearance-related worries, avoiding mirrors, or feeling unable to enjoy life because of how you look, you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. With the right support, BDD is treatable. If this resonates with you or you know someone who might need help, head to our website for resources and links to professional help. https://wayahead.org.au/get-the-facts/body-dysmorphic-disorder/ (fb)
