- An Open Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Pediatric Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
Do you dislike the way any part(s) of your body look?
Do you think about your appearance for more than 1 hour per day?
Do you engage in behaviors to try to hide, fix, or check your appearance?
Do your appearance concerns cause you anxiety, shame or sadness?
Do these concerns cause problems for you with school, your family or your friends?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions and live in the Boston area, we may be able to help. Massachusetts General Hospital is conducting a no-cost clinical trial with children and adolescents (ages 10 to 17 years) who are worried about how they look. Those qualified will receive a diagnostic evaluation and psychological treatment (CBT) at no cost. If you are interested in the possibility of an evaluation and participation in the research study, please contact Martha Falkenstein at The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital. Call (617)643-6204 or email bdd@partners.org.
