Hello doctor, i am really insecure about my self, i mean if im not perfect ( bodyshape, haircut, clothes, social acceptable, many friends etc ) i am slowly getting into a somekind of depression that leads to stay home the whole time and dont feel to do anything. My motivation goes away day per day and i dont answer my friends call or family so its getting worse by the time. What i should do ?
HAI Some people are over concerned about their body that something is not perfect, we call this body dysmorphophobia.It's difficult to reassure them that nothing is wrong with them. This in turn may lead to sad mood, preoccupation about it, social avoidance, etc.subsequent depression may also develop. Its better to consult a psychiatrist who may give you cognitive behavior therapy that changes the way you look at things. If need be, mild antidepressants can also be started. Remember nobody's perfect.  Bye
