The Unknown Dysmorphia
You may be sitting there reading this and wondering what dysmorphia is. Believe it or not, it is the opposite of what women get called anorexia. Women that feel they are always fat and cannot get thin enough to have anorexia. Men get dysmorphia.
Dysmorphia is when men feel that they just can’t seem to get their muscles big enough. Unfortunately, most men who have this disease are completely unaware that they even have it. This is also an obsessive compulsive disorder such as with anorexia.
Men who have this disorder will have symptoms such as they refuse to have their shirt off in public for fear that they won’t live up to the other guy. They could have a rock solid body and still feel that it is not good enough.
They will also be obsessive about working out. Having a daily routine is great but when someone spends every free waking moment in the gym they are doing more harm than good for their bodies. Eating habits are also an issue since someone with dysmorphia will be obsessed about eating the right foods always and never letting themselves slide, not even an inch. No matter how much you tell a person that they look great, they will still feel that they are not big enough or toned and shaped enough.
Some men may even turn to steroids if they feel that their workout is not producing the results they are looking for. Steroids can lead to another boat of problems for your health and just compound what is already going on.
As with anorexia, dysmorphia is difficult to treat since the first step to recovery is of course admitting that there is a problem. There are medications that can help treat this type of dysfunction but you need to get to a doctor to work things out.
Most men will not admit there is a problem so it is very important to watch for the signs. If you think that you may have this condition then it is very important to seek out medical help before you do more harm to your body than good.
