BDD Resources

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Resources

The BDD Family Book offers many helpful resources for people with BDD, their family members, friends, and loved ones. Active links to these resources are provided here, along with peer support group resources.

Here is a list of helpful resources for people with BDD (and those who love them):

• BDD Group for Parents and Partners
• BDD Recovery Support Group
• Books about BDD (and related disorders)
• Clinics and Therapists for BDD (and related disorders)
• Coaching and Courses/Workshops
• Organizations and Websites for BDD (and related disorders)
• Peer Support Resources
• Therapists with BDD and/or OCD Support Group
• Self-diagnosis Information
• Suicide Prevention/Crisis Resources

I encourage people with BDD to join peer support groups to find others who understand the disorder. They provide an opportunity to share your personal experiences and to give and get peer support.

There are online BDD groups in the United States and online/in-person groups offered in the United Kingdom. More information about these support groups is available on the International OCD Foundation website (US) and the BDD Foundation website (UK).

You are welcome to sign up for email reminders about the Recovery from BDD online support group. The group meets the second and fourth Thursday each month and is free to join.
