BDD Disorder

Question

BDD Disorder

Asked for Female, 25 Years

Hello Doctors, My sister has been diagnosed with BDD. She seems to be suffering from it for almost 8 years. Negligence led to late diagnosis and we have started medications- Nexito 10mg and Lonazep 0.5 mg - daily before sleep for 2 months. We consulted at Nimhans. What else can be done to recover quickly from this terrible mental illness?Talking to patient is of no use. This has wreaked a havoc in my family. Please help. I read exercise and sunlight boosts serotonin. Any other advise ?
