De færreste af os er 100 % tilfredse med vores udseende. De fleste vil kunne udpege noget, som vi ville ønske så anderledes ud. For de fleste af os forstyrrer det ikke i en grad, hvor vores dagligdag og livskvalitet bliver påvirket. Men for nogle gør det!Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), eller kropsdysmorfofobi, er en lidelse, der rammer cirka 2-3 % af befolkningen. BDD er kendetegnet ved en overoptagethed af én eller flere ikke-eksisterende eller minimale defekter ved ens udseende, som andre mennesker ikke rigtig lægger mærke til eller kan se. I et forsøg på at dæmpe de ubehagelige tanker og reducere angst og ubehag bruger BDD-ramte meget tid på at tjekke deres udseende, ”ordne defekten”, blive beroliget/bekræftet eller skjule/camouflere de oplevede ”defekter”. De ramte bliver på den måde fanget i et selvforstærkende mønster af tvangstanker og tvangshandlinger, som kan føles umuligt at bryde ud af. Der er heldigvis veje ud af BDD, og denne bog viser nogle af dem.Indbildt grimhed formidler den nyeste viden om BDD, herunder typiske symptomer, årsager og effektive behandlingsformer. Bogen henvender sig til dem, der kæmper med tanker om udseendet, til deres pårørende og til fagprofessionelle.

¿Hafteffekt¿ war und ist ein Herzensprojekt, dessen Erstellung mich über einige Jahre begleitet hat und an so vielen verschiedenen Orten verfasst wurde. Zum größten Teil ist es in Zeiten entstanden, in denen es mir psychisch nicht gut ging und ich an Depressionen erkrankte. Das Schreiben von ¿Hafteffekt¿ gab mir jedoch immer wieder neue Kraft, genau da weiterzumachen, wo ich in diesen Augenblicken in meinem Leben stand und oft exakt damit haderte. In meinem Buch möchte ich mich für die Thematiken des Burn-Outs, aber insbesondere der Depressionen und deren gesellschaftlicher Akzeptanz stark machen. Vor allem ist es mir wichtig zu verdeutlichen, dass Depressionen jeden zu jeder Zeit treffen können und ernst zu nehmen sind. Dabei ist es wichtig, Hilfe anzunehmen und sich immer wieder vor Augen zu halten, dass genau das keine Schwäche ist, sondern eben eine persönliche Stärke beschreibt. Für alle, die davon betroffen sind, ist ein Umfeld wichtig, das sich diesem Thema und dem Menschen ernsthaft, aber vor allem liebe- und verständnisvoll annimmt. Alle, die an Depressionen, egal in welcher Form, ob leicht oder schwer, ob in einer Episode oder manifestiert, erkranken, benötigen Akzeptanz und niemanden, der ihnen sagt, dass sie sich das nur einbilden würden oder stark sein müssten. Wichtig und unabdingbar ist es ebenfalls, zu verinnerlichen, dass man den Wind nicht ändern kann. Lediglich die Segel kann und sollte man anders setzen.
