The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation has launched an email support service for sufferers or friends and family of those with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).
The foundation explains that the service will offer a confidential place for people to be understood and be provided with high-quality information about recommended treatments and how to access them.
Volunteers, for the service, most of whom have suffered from BDD themselves, have received and completed training on how to help those with BDD.
