Join the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation on Saturday, May 31, 2025, for the second annual Online Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Conference—a vital virtual event dedicated to understanding and treating BDD, a serious and often misunderstood OCD-related disorder. BDD is characterized by persistent, distressing thoughts about perceived flaws in appearance. These obsessive thoughts lead to compulsive behaviors such as mirror checking, excessive grooming, or frequent medical consultations in an effort to fix the perceived flaw.
BDD can be profoundly isolating, impacting emotional well-being and daily functioning, yet with appropriate treatment, people with BDD can lead fulfilling lives. This conference will provide participants with the latest research, strategies for effective treatment, and a supportive community for those affected by BDD. Whether you're a mental health professional seeking clinical tools, an individual navigating BDD, or a loved one in need of guidance, this event offers life-changing insights and connection.
