Dysmorphia derives from the Greek word ‘δυς’ which means ‘bad’ and ‘μορφή’ which means ‘shape’, therefore Dysmorphia means bad shape.

The mental health problem BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder), you may be so upset about the appearance of your body that it gets in the way of your ability to live normally. Many of us have what we think are flaws in our appearance. But if you have BDD, your reaction to this “flaw” may become overwhelming. You may find that negative thoughts about your body are hard to control. You may even spend hours each day worrying about how you look. Your thinking can become so negative and persistent, you may think about suicide at times.

This project is for awareness and a wakeup call for people to feel confident and love themselves and not get brainwashed by social media.
