Living with BDD - a powerful testimony

Hannah Lewis is a Psychology Ph.D Researcher and a proud Northerner with a great sense of humour. She's also been living with Body Dysmorphic Disorder for 20 years.

In this 1.45 film Hannah articulately brings to life her BDD experience. She tells us about when she first recognised her BDD, and the profound effects it has had on her life since. She also has a message for the world.

We are aiming to create a BDD International Awareness Week to raise awareness and funding to help the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation to alleviate suffering. With an estimated 1 in 50 people living with the condition there are a lot of people we can help - nearly 1.1 million in the UK and 155 million globally.
