This is my second post here, though I joined a long time ago. My daughter has been dealing with depression for a long time and has been diagnosed with both chronic and major depression. She also seems to be dealing with body Dismorphic Disorder. She is obssessed with a wrinkle above her mouth that just honestly doesn't exist. Before that her head was too small for her body. Before that she had terrible spider veins--one or two little burst capillaries behind one knee. I've learned that you're not supposed to say that these things are mainly imaginary, but what are you supposed to say that will do any good?

I'm now seeing a therapist myself just so I can vent my frustration. But I also want to help.
