How To Support Someone With Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Through Treatment

How can I support someone with BDD through treatment?

The first thing is you really have to understand what BDD is like because it is hard to understand how someone can have these concerns about appearance which are so severe. So getting educated yourself, reading books about it is the first step so that when you can see the person you can offer support and empathy because you really understand how hard it is. I think encouragement, encouraging the person to do their homework even though it is very difficult is another important and helpful thing.
