The Dr. Robin Zasio Show “Mental Health Matters”

Topic: The Devastating Effects of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

Most of us have something that we don’t like about our appearance. It may be that our lips are too thin, ears too big, skin too light, or feet too wide. And while we might be bothered by some of these aspects that we would like to change, we don’t necessarily focus on the them throughout the day to the point that they interfere with our ability to focus on work, education, and other important aspects of our lives. But people who have Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) think about their perceived flaws for hours each day. My guest, Scott Granet, LMFT, is both a therapist who treats BDD and also one who has suffered from this condition. Join me a in a candid conversation about what BDD looks like, how it is treated, and where you can get help.
