Episode 136 hosts Professor David Veale, a Consultant Psychiatrist from South London, UK.

He is an internationally-renowned thought leader and researcher in the field of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Professor Veale leads a highly specialised service for patients with severe anxiety disorders including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), emetophobia (the fear of vomiting), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as well as BDD.

Having first explored BDD way back in episode 7, we re-visit the topic and discuss:

- how virtual working and the 'Zoom Boom' has affected our perception of ourselves

- What exactly BDD is and how this differs from patients who are just very picky or 'difficult'

- what can be done in the cosmetic consultation to explore the topic of BDD

- the patient perspective in suffering with BDD

- the treatment modalities commonly used

- novel approaches to treating the condition including nutritional psychiatry & psychedelic medications
