AI and Personalized Mental Health Interventions for Individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition that affects an individual’s perception of their physical appearance. People with BDD often obsess over perceived flaws or defects in their appearance, which can lead to severe anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. While traditional therapy and medication can be effective treatments for BDD, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have opened up new possibilities for personalized mental health interventions.

AI-powered interventions for BDD can take many forms, from chatbots that provide support and guidance to virtual reality (VR) therapy sessions that help individuals confront their fears and anxieties.
