BDD Clinic
Today when I was researching BDD I came across a website that talked about a clinic for BDD. I was unaware that there were clinics in the United States for this disorder. Apparently, The Los Angeles Body Dysmorphic Disorder & Body Image Clinic is the first BDD clinic on the West Coast of the United States that deals primarily with every aspect of BDD. This is the only clinic I have been able to find online so far that completely devotes the whole clinic to Body Dysmorphic Disorder. The clinic deals with the symptoms just as doctors do, depressionm, anxiety, OCD. They have an outpatient facility where the evaluate and treat BDD. They also have an intensive care program and medication management. I think this is a very good idea and it also helps spread awareness about this disease.
