Respected Sir, Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a perfectly treatable condition and I would ask you to relax and make sure you see a psychiatrist who can give you the necessary help. If you have already tried any form of pschotherapy and it has not been successful, there are still medicines that you can take which will help you with your problem. It will take 3-6 months, but it is perfectly treatable and I am sure that the associated depression would also clear once the underlying disorder is treated. The psychotherapy of choice would be Cognitive Behavioural Therapy but with your associated depressive symptoms, I would suggest that you might need medicines which can only be prescribed by a psychiatrist. I am aware of various psychiatrists based in jalandhar whom you contact for the same or it can be done online but not via this platform as the rules of answering open questions explicitly state that I am not allowed to prescribe any medicines.
