The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if self guided intervention for body dysmorphia works to treat the symptoms and effective in bringing positive psychological outcomes in adolescents. The outcome measures include self compassion, gratitude, mindfulness, positive affect, body satisfaction, body esteem, psychological wellbeing and psychological flexibility. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does self guided intervention is effective in reducing the symptoms body dysmorphia? * What changes it brings in positive psychological outcome measures? Researchers will compare the pretest and posttest results of the positive psychological measures to see if self guided intervention is effective in reducing symptoms of body dysmorphia.
Participants will:
* Be screened out for the symptoms body dysmorphia * Those having symptoms will be divided in to two groups i.e, experimental and control group * All the participants will take the pretesting of positive psychological measures * Then only experimental group will be given six weeks self guided intervention * After six weeks both groups will be posttested for the positive psychological measures.

Outcome Measure Title: Change in Body Dysmorphic Disorder Symptoms as Measured by the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire (BDDQ)
The primary outcome is the change in the severity of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) symptoms following completion of the six-week self-guided intervention. Symptom severity will be assessed using a standardized measure of body dysmorphic symptoms administered at baseline (pretest) and immediately after the intervention (posttest). The effectiveness of the intervention will be determined by comparing changes in BDD symptom scores between the experimental and control groups.
Change in self Compassion measured by The Self-Compassion Scale Youth Version (SCS-Youth)
Self-compassion will be assessed using the 17-item Self-Compassion Scale-Youth Version (SCS-Y). Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (Almost Never) to 5 (Almost Always). Negatively worded items are reverse-scored. The total self-compassion score is calculated as the mean of the six subscale means after reverse-scoring the negative components. The possible mean score ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater self-compassion and lower scores indicating lower self-compassion.
Change in Gratitude measured by The Gratitude Questionnaire - Six Item Form (GQ-6)
Gratitude will be assessed using the six-item Gratitude Questionnaire-Six Item Form (GQ-6). Items are rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree). Items 3 and 6 are reverse-scored. Total scores range from 6 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater dispositional gratitude and lower scores indicating lower dispositional gratitude.
Change in Mindfulness measured by Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS)
Mindfulness will be assessed using the 15-item Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), which measures the frequency of open and receptive attention to and awareness of present-moment experiences. Items are rated on a 6-point response scale from 1 (Almost Always) to 6 (Almost Never), with scoring procedures resulting in a mean score ranging from 1 to 6. Higher scores indicate greater mindful attention and awareness, whereas lower scores indicate lower levels of mindfulness.
Change in positive Affect measured by he Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)
Positive and negative affect will be assessed using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). The PANAS contains separate Positive Affect and Negative Affect subscales, each consisting of 10 items scored from 1 to 5. Each subscale has a possible score range of 10 to 50. Higher Positive Affect scores indicate greater positive affect. Higher Negative Affect scores indicate greater negative affect and therefore represent a less favorable outcome when evaluating improvement in psychological functioning.
