Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a type of chronic mental illness that causes sufferers to obsess about percieved flaws in their appearance, either minor or imagined. To the person suffering their appearance seems shameful and distressing and often causes much distress in every aspect of life. This website aims to raise awareness of the condition and help those affected.
