This book was definitely aimed at young people and medical professionals. I have suffered from BDD for a long time but didn’t really find new information for me (36, female, single).

Appearance Anxiety is a short book that explains Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It's a very basic look at this disorder. It may be more help to someone who is just getting into the subject. I have a daughter who has been severely anorexic so I've probably read much too much on the subject for it to be of benefit to me. I think it's aimed mainly at young people.
Han H, Educator
An ideal book to have for teens who are suffering and family members wanting to get a basic insight into the condition.
Heidi W, Reviewer
This is a informational novella or pamphlet for parents of teens or young adults.
This covers the basic information families who are wondering if there loved ones are struggling.
This helped with information that many might not realize are connect with Anxiety.
