Is it ethical to treat BDD with surgery?

[IAMZAKARY]

I seem to have the symptoms of bdd, but I don't think it's my imagination, I am just deformed and I am totally for cosmetic surgery, when I turn 18 I am getting some procedures

its painful having BDD believe me i am going through this shit and its giving me hell...i swear i would rather just dye and not suffer but i cant kill my self...my religion taught me that god will take away my life one day not me taking it...i wish i can kill my self sometimes but i cant...fuck life and sometimes i wanna say his name the creator who created me but no ....

Hi. I am a south east Asian guy. I have BDD and still suffering from it....... I don't have this disorder when I was in my country... I got this disease here in an ENGLISH LAND called UNITED SATES OF AMERICA

I have had bdd for 3 years now

But also i doubt that this girl has BDD. BDD is a very severe illness where you often or chronically struggle to leave the house. So maybe this is just a "mild case".

However...

I want to say: you CANNOT treat BDD with surgery- in most cases surgery makes the problems in fact WORSE!

So please do not go to a plastic surgeon- just my two cents based on my own experiences and stories about other people with BDD i have read.

i have bdd too i dont leave my house much because im deathly afraid of rejection from the opposite sex!

[bluAngel814]

[LAURAM0822]

@bluAngel814 thats BDD, ruins ur life restricts your life. im a social outcast its a very lonely and disturbing illness x

[bluAngel814]

I agree with fallycrysilk

[LeanaJoH76]

Most people who do get plastic surgery, because they don't think they fit the "norm", do have some form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

Hell, even Pam Anderson has BDD. And so does some other celebs with plastic surgery.

[wiccamelissa]

I feel like that too, try also being scarred up from preganacy, ruined with stretch marks and fat!

This bitch didn't have BDD.She had concern about breast size.If you can wear a bathing suit and have a boyfriend YOU DON'T HAVE BDD.Fuck that.This shit just pissed me off

[PFCAhammed]

god thats so true, it also really fkcs me off when normal, attractive people with normal personal relationships claim to have BDD.

[xtelemasterx]

@fallcrysilk just because she exhibits a varying degree of symptoms from your own does not make her unworthy of treatment, or happiness.

BDD is not just a distorted view of the self, it is the feeling that you are actually deformed. It is a serious illness and, like other mental illnesses, they take time to treat.

I don't see how this is BDD...
