Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental illness where people perceive flaws in their appearance that are either minor or nonexistent. They obsess over these perceived flaws and feel the need to constantly fix or hide them. The document discusses BDD in terms of epidemiology, clinical features, types, psychological impacts, treatment, case studies, and famous people who had it. It states BDD affects 2-8% of the population worldwide and involves obsessive thoughts about appearance and behaviors to fix perceived flaws. Treatment involves psychotherapy and medication to reduce negative thoughts.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is characterized by a perceived physical defect that others cannot see, which causes significant distress and impairment. People with BDD obsess over a minor or imagined flaw in their appearance, constantly checking the mirror and seeking reassurance. BDD is associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder and affects men and women equally during teen years to early adulthood. Treatment involves psychotherapy, medication such as SSRIs, and family therapy to address low self-esteem, childhood trauma, and neurochemical imbalances that may contribute to the disorder's symptoms. Left untreated, BDD can lead to unnecessary surgeries and increased risk of suicide.
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) causes people to obsess over perceived flaws in their appearance that are either minor or nonexistent. People with BDD experience low self-esteem and set extremely high and unrealistic standards for their appearance. Symptoms include obsessive comparison to others, excessive grooming or exercise, and seeking unnecessary cosmetic surgeries. Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia are also body image disorders that are influenced by genetic and environmental factors like pressures from family and Western culture's emphasis on thinness as the ideal body type.
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychological disorder where patients are excessively concerned about a perceived flaw in their physical appearance. BDD was first described in the late 19th century and is now recognized by the American Psychiatric Association. It affects about 0.7-3% of the population and commonly presents in dental practices. Patients with BDD may request cosmetic procedures but are rarely satisfied with treatment outcomes and their concerns typically shift to another body part. The disorder is best managed through cognitive behavioral therapy and medication rather than further cosmetic treatments.

2. Specific anxiety disorders discussed include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, agoraphobia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The causes and symptoms of each disorder are described.
3. Psychologists believe anxiety disorders may be caused by biological, cognitive, and behavioral/learning factors like classical and operant conditioning which can lead to the conditioning of anxiety responses.

The DSM-5 organizes 10 personality disorders into 3 groups, or clusters, based on shared key features. Cluster C Personality disorders includes 3 disorders sharing anxious and fearful features. Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive.
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is characterized by a pattern of negative, defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior toward authority figures. To be diagnosed with ODD, a child's behavior must be worse than their peers and meet criteria in the DSM. ODD is usually diagnosed by age 8 and affects 1-6% of children, more commonly boys. It can be caused by inconsistent parenting, learning difficulties, family factors and may co-exist with other disorders like ADHD. Treatment involves therapy, parenting programs, and in some cases medication, with the goal of developing coping skills to reduce frustration and defiance.
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by an excessive need for approval, reassurance, and close relationships due to fears of separation and being alone. People with this disorder rely on others to make decisions and meet their needs. They have low self-esteem and difficulty expressing disagreement with others. Treatment focuses on psychotherapy to improve independence, self-esteem, and form healthy relationships through improving decision making skills and reducing fears of abandonment. While medications can help with related anxiety or depression, psychotherapy is the primary treatment approach for dependent personality disorder.
The document provides information about counseling services available at the Center for Student Success. It discusses what counseling is, the demand for counseling among the general population and students. It outlines the scope of services offered, including individual and group counseling, workshops, and crisis intervention. Counseling relationships are built on principles of permission to speak freely, respect for differences, confidentiality, and affirmation. Appointments can be made Monday through Friday between 4:15pm and 6:15pm by visiting in person, email, or phone. Counseling can help address issues like mental health problems, stress, and adjustment difficulties by providing a supportive environment for discussion and developing solutions.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Still need to use hair filler and camouflage
Will always have less hair than others around them
Others may recognize the hair transplant on close look
and form an opinion based on it
Need to use a fixed hair style, Crown looks bald
Not enough to make you feel complete
Density is inadequate, not equal all over
More sessions required but are very expensive
19. Conclusion
We need be more sensitive to apparently minor changes in hair loss patients
Patient’s Personal perception of hair loss is more severe than the clinical
evaluation
Yale-Brown Scale, Sheehan Scale & DASS Scale can evaluate the Social,
Personal, Psychological & Emotional effects in hair loss patients
Incidence of BDD in hair loss is 28%, higher than rhinoplasty 20.7%
Patients Concern for Hair loss, Obsessive Behavior, Work, Family and Social
Life can be improved by 84% after a Hair Transplant, however,
All 100% Patients have severe to extreme concern with the Personal &
Emotional Perception of their hair loss & 61% continue to have it even after
Hair Transplant
Further evaluation and structured research on BDD in Hair loss is required
