A Deep Dive into Body Dysmorphic Disorde...

HARRIET FREW
About this episode

This episode is a deep dive into body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). I discuss what it is, when it develops and possible causes. I talk about common body preoccupations and behaviours associated with BDD. I explore plastic surgery and how this can become addictive. I also talk about possible treatment and the relationship between BDD and eating disorders.
