    Hi daver,

    I don't have BDD but know there are a few around here. I'm not sure whether medication helps with BDD, but can't see why it wouldn't as BDD is generally described as form of OCD and there are proven remedies out there for OCD.

    So can you ask your doctor to try one of the medications?

    Best wishes

    Hi daver

    There's a book by David Veale and Rob Willson, in the Overcoming... series - have you come across it?

    Best wishes,
    Joanne
