As the famous song goes, "Lifes not worth a damn until you can say I am what I am"

My name is Jenn, I'm the features editor at a media and production company in London called Barcroft.

I'm looking for someone who has or is suffering from BDD, who would like to be interviewed.

I appreciate it's a big request, given the nature of BDD!

But I'd like to speak to someone for the purpose of educating the public about BDD, and also giving hope, information and inspiration to other sufferers.

At Barcroft we specialise in print media as well as documentaries, so there is a whole range of projects we might be able to work on.

We always endeavour to make sure anyone involved is fully aware of what is going on and comfortable with their situation.

However, I am looking for someone who would openly speak of their experiences - and be happy to be named and photographed.

They certainly wouldn't have to appear in a documentary unless that was something that one day they were comfortable with.

Please contact me on jennifer@barcroftmedia.com

BDD is a mental health problem related to body image, in which an individual has a preoccupation with one or more perceived or slight defects in his or her appearance. BDD is diagnosed only if the preoccupation causes significant distress, disrupts daily functioning, or both. Some people with BDD acknowledge that their distress may be an extreme response to the perceived or slight defect, whereas others are so firmly convinced about their perception that they are regarded as having a false belief. Whatever the degree of insight into their condition, people with a diagnosis of BDD usually realise that others believe their appearance to be 'normal' and have been told so many times; nevertheless, their perception of ugliness is very real to them.
