Hugs for you and your family @yennyfire. I unfortunately have experience here as well. My 14 yo daughter has body dismorphia as well as numerous other diagnoses (anxiety, depression, panic disorder, trich, etc.) Body dismorphia is classified as an OCD disorder so although there is ED associated with it, it is treated as OCD. A mental health professional can determine if there is a body dismorphia component to her ED and that will help guide her recovery. My heart goes out to yall. Mental illness is a terrifying beast.
