I've just been diagnosed with BDD (body dysmorphic dysfunction)and feel fairly embarassed about it. . .for years I convinced myself it was my own problem and nothing could be labeled and make it 'better'. Nonetheless, my dr. recommends I start on Prozac, but if (as I read) weight gain is one of the side effects, how will that make anything better? I understand the healthier headspace notion, but I feel as though it's a little counterproductive.

Has anyone had any experience with BDD?

Thanks for your support - this forum is a wonderful way to realise you're just not alone..
