I am currently a college student. I am studying Psychology and plan on getting my PhD or PsyD to become a counseling psychologist. I am also minoring in music because I love to sing. I have been singing and playing the piano since I was about 5 years old. I also love to ride horses. I have the most perfect boyfriend in the world and I love him so much.
I have always had a rough life growing up and that is why I am going to be a Psychologist because I think I can help people cope with the things that I had to deal with.

Hi everyone.
I just need some help because I think my friend might have this Disorder, and I don't know how to help her.
She suffers nearly all of the symptoms. Today she told me she thinks she might have it, and when I suggested she goes to the doctors she said no.
I need help on how I can help to influence her to seek help.
PS. Here is a link about it, or you could just google the disorder:

A lot of girls are obsessed about their bodies. Mine isn't perfect and I'm constantly complaining about a certain area. I'm sure she is fine and maybe she is a perfectionist like me and wants to look perfect. She may also have a little bit of OCD.

BDD does involve having OCD, but she also suffers from the other symptoms like: Only going out at night time, skipping school alot and having bad grades. She told me that the other day her mum asked her to put the rubbish out, so she waited till nighttime to do it. And she told me she tells her mum she is sick, but really she stays home because she is "ugly" She is actually a really beautiful girl and I can't see anything wrong with her.
