Definicja i Znaczenie "bigorexia"

What is "bigorexia"?

Bigorexia, also known as muscle dysmorphia, is a mental health condition characterized by an obsessive concern with being extremely muscular and having a specific body image. Individuals with bigorexia often see themselves as not having enough muscle, even if they are already muscular. They may engage in excessive weightlifting, bodybuilding, strict diets, or use of supplements in an attempt to achieve their desired body shape. Bigorexia can lead to negative consequences such as physical injury, social isolation, and weakened mental health. Treatment may involve therapy to address false body image perceptions and promote healthier attitudes towards body image and exercise.
