BBC Newsbeat on Male Body Image & BDD

“I used to try and count my hairs every morning – I was worried I would lose hair if I showered”

Our BDDF ambassadors recently joined BBC newsbeat to share their lived experiences of BDD and highlight the challenges many men face with body image.

By sharing their stories, they’re not just taking positive steps forward, but also showing that talking about their mental health is a way to find support, build resilience, and create change in this space.
