N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has shown positive outcomes in the treatment of certain obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, such as OCD, nail biting, grooming disorder, skin picking, and trichotillomania (hair pulling). Although there are currently no specific studies assessing the effectiveness of NAC for treatment of BDD, clinicians have been prescribing it as an adjunct therapy alongside SRIs, yielding promising results. However, further research is needed to establish its safety, effectiveness, and appropriate dosage for BDD.[1]
