KlappentextPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Muscle dysmorphia, also called bigorexia, or Adonis complex, is a type of body dysmorphic disorder, affecting mostly men, which causes a person to become compulsively preoccupied with his/her appearance, especially musculature. According to medical experts, today, bigorexia is becoming a widespread problem amongst fitness fans, bodybuilders and other individuals affected by musclemania. The growing trend, which is frequently connected with a constant comparing of a one's body to an unattainable ideal and beauty standards, is believed to be inoculated into individuals via television advertisements, billboards, movies and TV-shows portraying good-looking actors, well-muscled models and bodybuilders. Learn more about bigorexia, its causes, health risk and prevention in this book.
