Jillo, you must have missed the part where I stated I've seen three mental health professionals, all of whom told me that there was no treatment for BIID. I have also seen a neurologist who believes it has a neurological cause: a problem in the parietal lobe of the brain concerned with body image. I have also been in email contact with two other mental health professionals who have done studies on BIID who have no treatments to suggest. Your suggestion to find help is great - please give me the name and phone number of the mental health professional that you recommend who has had success treating this condition.
I am sorry but BIID does exist. Do some research. When it shows up in the DSM-V you'll know. The editor of the next version of the DSM, Dr. Michael First, was the person who actually coined the term Body Integrity Identity Disorder and has done one study on it and is about to conduct a second. You can Google that and find out in 1-minute's research to see that it's true. I'm afraid I'll have to take Dr. First's word over yours, until you at least provide your credentials.
