Robyn L. Stern, LCSW, is a licensed social and therapist in New York where she specializes in Body Dysmorphic Disorder, OCD and BFRBs. This is a condition someone becomes preoccupied with perceived defects in their appearance which are not apparent to others.
This is an important psychiatric condition to know about. It is more frequent than OCD, and can lead to unnecessary cosmetic surgery.
In this interview I talk with Robyn Stern who is passionate advocate for BDD awareness
She knows first hand about what it is like to suffer from BDD and she has two very compelling videos in which she bravely tells her story. I would strongly recommend watching these videos.
