I'm afflicted from BDD (Body dysmorphic disorder). It has negatively impacted my life in nearly all aspects and I can't continue to live like this anymore so I'm desperately seeking a psychologist.

From what I've seen, psychologists aren't that common in Nigeria and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a qualified one who can properly identify and redress my condition. I've tried counselling before and it wasn't an encouraging experience; It didn't help me in any way whatsoever.

I'd much appreciate it if anyone can recommend a professional who deals with BDD or mental disorders in general.

I stay in Lagos by the way.

Social Work in Nigeria is now up too the task and Lagos social welfare is still the best in Nigeria. Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental disorder and for proper diagnosis and treatment, a proper background check would be done. I'd advise you get an experience social worker who would be of great assistance..
