Muscle dysmorphia is a form of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) involving an intense preoccupation with not being muscular or lean enough. Sometimes referred to as “bigorexia” or “reverse anorexia”, muscle dysmorphia can affect people who exercise regularly, including individuals who are already highly muscular or physically fit. 

Social media has become a major part of everyday life. Platforms built around photos, videos, and appearance can offer connection and community, but they can also create challenges for people struggling with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
