Recently, I've been wondering about body image concerns and the possibility of body dysmorphic disorder. Is anyone familiar with this? What are the signs, and what steps can be taken for support? @SoulTherapyWithHarleenBagga

Hey! Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is when someone obsesses over perceived flaws in their appearance. Signs can include excessive grooming, seeking reassurance, and avoiding social situations.

Hi, wanted to ask if any mental health behavior changes the way a person acts of behaves?? Does it change their daily routine and their hearts??
Hi anonymous!! Surely!!! Our behavior, personality, attachment styles are all connected to our mental health. And any disruption mentally will reflect both internally and externally. We can discuss this further on my live tomorrow at 12pm

I know my dad's issues stemmed from his own childhood trauma. It doesn't excuse his behavior, but it helps me to understand it. I feel empathy towards him which is hampering my mental health. How do I deal with it?
Anonymous0d
I drew boundaries with him. That meant a) telling him his behaviour bothered me b) Created physical distance. c) nurtured my connection with myself. When he continued to do what he was doing, second gear of boundaries came into place that meant loving myself more and making hard choices. So not doing what I did in the past, no more excuses for his bad behaviour. Form boundaries and distance for disrespect helped me conserve my energy.

I have been dealing with mental health issues since long now but I haven’t opened up to my friends and family abt it. How can i do that??
Hi anonymous!! First of all don'ttake the pressure of telling everyone at once.. just pick a person you are most comfortable with and who has more chances of understanding what you are going through.. you can also connect with me to get a better hang of things❤

is feeling lonely a mental illness?? If yes, how can it be cured??
Loneliness is an experience, never an illness. It's important that a person be comfortable with themselves in silence when no one is around.

What is codependency in a relationship?? Does it affect the mental health of both the people involved in a relationship??
Hi Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. Codependent relationships are one where either of your emotions and sense of self depends on the other person. This is considered unhealthy because there is lack of boundaries, healthy space and trust. It would affect both of you. If it's somethings that affects you, do come on my live and talk to me.

How can I respect other’s beliefs abt mental health without compromising my own?? Because some family members of mine do not seem to see the fact thar mental health is actually a thing and not just a ‘pagalpan ki nishani’
Anonymous6d
hi there, I'm a clinical psychologist and from experience I can tell you the navigating differences and beliefs about mental health, especially within our family, can be specially challenging. I would love to offer you a few suggestions to go about this in your own family. firstly, it is amazing that yourself informed and educated enough to know the importance of mental health, this can help you articulate your own perspective clearly. communicating with your family can be difficult, but we should always remember to show empathy and my suggestions to you would be to use " I " phrase such as " I understand where you are coming from but I feel overwhelmed when I can't express myself" this seems to take the blame away from them and puts your own needs as a priority. setting boundaries is another thing that I would love to talk to you about as it is important for any healthy relationship. please feel free to reach out to me anytime you want and I would love to help you through these times
