I don't see ANY of ...

I am having severe BDD over my teeth. I've had BDD from a young age and obsessed over many different flaws. I was severely bullied about my teeth as a child because they're large and they protruded. I got braces and liked my teeth after that. Recently a filling chipped off my front tooth and now it's jagged and uneven but dentist said to leave it and that it just looks natural but I want ...

Sorry for the delicate question, but I'm starting to wonder whether Schizophrenia and Body Dismorphic Disorder are linked in the genes. I'm 36 now and I've suffered with severe and suicidal BDD since I was a teenager. My mum was Schizophrenic.
I have a friend who has suffered with BDD all her life and she also has Schizophrenia in the family.

Maybe Schizophrenia manifests itself as BDD or OCD in offspring?

Has anyone else here ...

I am so tired of it all. It literally is driving me closer and closer to suicide, but I know I cannot do that because it would destroy my family and I know that I have good days.

There are short periods where I am fine and the intrusive thoughts don't get to me as much; even days where I feel like I look fine/good. But it always ends at some point and I am ...

Hello.

I recently spoke to a good friend of mine about some issues I've been having this year and he said I could possibly have BDD and should consult a psychologist. I don't even know how to start describing how I feel but I'm going to try.
