10. What Are the Treatment Options?

As with any psychological disorder, effective treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. People who are diagnosed with body dysmorphia can benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, wherein they learn to identify negative thoughts and feelings so that they can begin to act in ways to change them. Certain medications used to treat anxiety and depression may also be helpful when a chemical imbalance is present.

Daily life is the test of whether or not treatment will be effective. People with body dysmorphia must commit to putting the things they learn from their doctors into practice. In some cases, brief hospitalization can help them learn these practices in a controlled environment.
