In a world saturated with filters, social media comparisons, and impossible beauty standards, it’s no surprise that many of us have moments of self-doubt about our appearance. But for some, this concern becomes more than a passing worry; it becomes a consuming obsession. If you find yourself constantly preoccupied with flaws in your appearance that others barely notice or don’t see at all, you may be facing Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), also known as body dysmorphia.
At Perfect Balance Psychiatric Services, we’re committed to raising awareness about under-recognized mental health conditions like BDD. Our mission is to help individuals reclaim their self-worth and build a healthy, compassionate relationship with their bodies.
Body dysmorphic disorder is a serious and often misunderstood mental health condition in which a person becomes excessively focused on perceived defects in their physical appearance. These perceived flaws may be minor or entirely imagined, but to the person experiencing BDD, they feel overwhelming, humiliating, and deeply distressing.
Medication Management: SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) can reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
