Even with therapy, coping with compulsive mirror-checking can be a daunting struggle for patients diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Designed to support greater success of in-home recovery, Portrait leverages on pre-emptive and mindful cues in empowering patients to independently manage their recovery journey with renewed confidence.
Refocusing one’s emotions and visual attention through mindful breathing when prolonged checking arises.
Streamlining recovery process through a real-time feedback loop between patient and therapist.
