Ofcourse their is.. ofcourse. If your trapped in this 'uglyness' you'll become trapped in a world of depression; and i'm not kidding. If something is ALWAYS letting you down.. if something is always giving you this sick/anxiety feeling.. what's next? happiness?.. no.. lol that'd be some sort of miracle. Depression is the next factor of BDD.

"The disorder is linked to significantly diminished quality of life and can be co-morbid with major depressive disorder and social phobia, also known as chronic social anxiety."
