The first book offering support for parents and carers of children and young people with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), this guidebook explains the condition as well as the impact that it may have in education settings, family life and socialisation.
The guide begins by explaining how and why BDD emerges, before moving onto an exploration of how the mental health condition presents itself emotionally, psychologically, physically and behaviourally. It then offers practical advice and guidance for parents and carers on talking to their child about BDD, seeking professional treatment, considering medication, managing social media use, working with schools to build a recovery team and more.

Reviews
The Parents' Guide to Body Dysmorphic Disorder is an invaluable, in-depth and practical resource for anyone wishing to understand and support someone with BDD. Complex psychological concepts are made accessible and brought to life through real experiences and comments, alongside expert opinion. I am pleased to have this much awaited addition to the literature to be able to offer care to the carers.
