Hi there, can anyone recommend what should i do as iam suffering from torticollis and BDD?

Iam the troublesome guy suffering from torticollis due to which i am also bound suffer from Body dsymorphic disorder, I want to do the operation or surgery of my neck but iam 19 yrs old. can anyone recommend what should i do??

Have you tried Bo-Tox injections for spastic torticollis? I had a client who did this some 15 years ago when it was still experimental and it worked exceedingly well for her. I would recommend seeking all alternatives prior to surgical intervention, but I am no expert by any means on torticollis.
As for BDD, while connected to your illness, it can be relieved with CBT and also you may want to consider some support group involvement specific to the torticollis. It may help a lot to talk with others who suffer similarly.
Here is a website with more info on BDD:

Did you use a collar as a child? Was it corrected by physical therapy or has it become stiff and irregular?

As far as the dysmorphic disorder... Well that is natural considering the characteristics of your specific situation.

You have just got to find a way to feel good about yourself.
