We’ve been doing the rounds on the radio lately, and continuing the conversation about BDD. On BBC 5 Live, our chair Dr Rob Willson and ambassador Danny Bowman have been chatting on male body image and BDD. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… (begins at 1hr 26) #bodydysmorphicdisorder

Our BDDF ambassadors recently joined BBC newsbeat to share their lived experiences of BDD and highlight the challenges many men face with body image.   🎧 Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…   #recovery #bodydysmorphicdisorder #mentalhealth #awareness #radio #malebodyimage

BDD can be about any body part, but according to research these are the most common areas of fixation. If you are struggling with obsessive thoughts about your appearance, you are not alone. Contact us on support@bddfoundation.org #bodydysmorphicdisorder #bodydysmorphia

We recently spoke with Rolling Stone, alongside Dr Toni Pikoos, on the rising and troubling use of AI in the context of BDD and reassurance seeking. Read more: bddfoundation.org/how-is-ai-impa… #bodydysmorphicdisorder #bodydysmorphia #BDD #AI

Think BDD is rare? Unfortunately, this is still a big misconception. BDD affects 1 in every 50 people, yet there is still so much misunderstanding. #recovery #bodydysmorphicdisorder #bodydysmorphia #BDD #mentalhealth #awareness
