Depression anxiety: People with untreated body dysmorphic disorder often suffer from depression and anxiety. If untreated, the severity of your condition may also get worse over time. So, the best advise - get treated now.

This is a challange: Body dysmorphic disorder, & its accompanying anorexia and/or bulemia, can be psychological & medically devistating. Emotional risks include anxiety, poor esteem, self-sabotage, depression, substance abuse. Physical risks include hormonal imbalance, osteoporosis, seizure, metabolic disturbance, cardio-vascular compromise, even death. So seek treatment now, before your future health suffers greatly.
