About this episode

Mark Brown shares his journey of recovering from body dysmorphic disorder and the impact it had on his life.

For much of the time Mark Brown lived with BDD, he looked as if he was functioning from the outside. But inside he was living under what he calls "a dome of shame and disgust". Now, after lots of hard work and therapy, he says he's much more present in his life and his old life with BDD feels like a distant memory.
