ROBERTA
In today's world people with BDD are more likely to be seen by cosmetic practitioners than by mental health professionals, as the majority of BDD sufferers believe that their condition is physically rather than psychologically manifested.
However, clinical evidence suggests that cosmetic procedures are rarely beneficial in ameliorating symptoms of BDD and indeed usually make things worse. Some patients become more fixated on the feature that had been treated or develop new appearance preoccupations following treatment. Unfortunately, despite increasing awareness of the impact of poor body image, BDD appears to go under-recognised and /or misdiagnosed.
Why is it important to identify Body Dysmorphia and manage that appropriately with your clients?
Learn Outcomes:
- How to identify behaviours of concern.
- What does mental health look like in aesthetic practice?
- Strategies to manage "alarm bells"
- Pathways to manage inappropriate client selection
- Clinician safeguarding strategies
