Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 19-year-old female and I have symptoms of body dysmorphia. How can I fix it?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for taking help from a psychiatrist. I can understand your situation. You may have a body dystrophy disorder. It is increasing in today's generation of females due to social media. Social media wants to look perfect and influencers have made standards high, which is not practically possible. You need to stop or decrease using social media. learn to love and respect yourself. Do not compare yourself with others. Work on your weakness. It is necessary to take care of your health but do not need to be over-conscious about it. Accept your body and love it. No one is perfect in the world. Love your imperfection. I hope that you get your answer. Please let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.
