Описание: In this video I am going to describe the best treatment for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)?

There are two treatments that have been proven to be effective for BDD, medication and talking therapy. In this video I will explain a little about each of these and then explain what you can expect to be offered if you go for help.
1. Medication: the biological origins of BDD are unclear, with some experts suggesting a genetic cause, some a chemical cause and others, no biological origin at all. This has made developing a medication that is effective for everyone tricky, so if you are offered medication for BDD the prescribing process is likely to involve some trial and error. The medication found to be most helpful for BDD is an antidepressant called Fluoxetine or Prozac.
2. Talking therapy: the psychological origins of BDD are clearer, making the development of treatment easier. Currently the most effective talking therapy for BDD is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
