Navigating the NHS for an adult with Body Dysmorphic Disorder can be tricky. In this webinar, Professor David Veale will highlight the different care pathways and streams of funding in the NHS, how to be referred to a specialist service and the different types of services available. He will point to various resources that you can use to improve your chances of referral or if necessary, complain about your current treatment. It is possible to get good treatment and to recover… sometimes you just have to persist.
