Body dysmorphia, also known as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), is a mental health condition characterized by a preoccupation or obsession with one's perceived physical flaws or defects. Samarpan offers complete body dysmorphia treatment in Mumbai. Treatment for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) typically involves a combination of therapy, medication, and self-care strategies. Body dysmorphia can affect people of any gender, or age, and is often accompanied by anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Individuals with BDD may spend a significant amount of time checking, grooming, or hiding their perceived flaws, and may experience significant distress or impairment in daily functioning as a result.

BDD can affect any part of the body, but common areas of concern include skin, hair, nose, eyes, and weight. The preoccupation with appearance can cause significant distress and functional impairment, leading to difficulty with social and occupational functioning. Body dysmorphia can affect people of any gender, age, or background, and is often accompanied by anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. The exact causes of BDD are not fully understood, but genetics, neurobiology, and environmental factors are believed to play a role. Individuals with BDD may also have co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression.

Treatment for BDD typically involves a combination of therapy and medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used to help individuals challenge and change their negative thoughts and behaviors related to their appearance, while medications such as antidepressants may be prescribed to help manage symptoms of anxiety or depression. In severe cases, hospitalization or intensive outpatient treatment may be necessary. Self-care strategies such as mindfulness, exercise, and self-compassion may also be helpful in managing symptoms of BDD.
