Explains BDD to young people, families and professionals including symptoms, treatment and first-hand experiences

The first book for teens that explains the causes and impact of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The book is interspersed with accounts and artwork from young people with BDD, along with perspectives of their families. BDD is a debilitating mental health disorder, and this book gives advice on treatment including CBT and medication, and shows where to get help.

It increases awareness, provides solidarity for people with BDD, and alerts others to key signs and symptoms so they can prevent further suffering. It also includes a short section for families and professionals on what they can do to help, making this the go-to book for professionals and families to recommend to teens, as well an invaluable resource for young people themselves.

Having read this book, I feel that it has a lot of potential to be very helpful for
many people - including those experiencing BDD, those who know people that
are affected by BDD and even people who currently have no association with the
condition at all.
This is because, with the simple layout and the images, the book is a very easy
read which gives extensive insight into the disorder.
