Extreme dissatisfaction with a part of the body is body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), historically known as dysmorphic horror. So let’s look at what we should do to prevent body dysmorphic disorder in general. Patients with BDD will often engage in lengthy discussions with others about perceived deficits, rather every one of them being overwhelmed and ending up in an argument. Do your best to point out that constant questioning and seeking reassurance is one of the symptoms of BDD, and limiting yourself to a discussion will not help. Sometimes it is necessary to provide the necessary checks to let them know that the way they see themselves is due to BDD-induced perceptual distortions, not that other people see things the same way. Instead of always accommodating them, encourage them to be more involved in family matters. Let them know that the whole point is not to be self-centered all the time, and that not participating or accommodating will make them feel a little better instead. When a BDD patient says that stress is increasing work to bring the stress level down or it will worsen the symptoms and any kind of change will bring unbearable anxiety. Be open to solving the problem rather than being judgmental, explaining understand that your indifference to ritualistic actions and letting them go will only reinforce the symptoms. Emphasize that you care about them and that you will strive to be supportive and understanding in their recovery and healing process. Often have a simple and clear discussion about looks.
