About muscle dysmorphia
Addiction on physical exercise or muscle dysmorphia is the term used to describe physical, psychological and emotional addiction on any type of physical exercise. Our culture has a positive view of people who are very physically active. Reading is the one who works out a lot takes good care of the body, therefore of health and, thus, there is a low criticism in cases of exaggeration.
This addiction is on the list of compulsions. It is necessary to see this patient's history, often the compulsion now is a mutation of another previously existing. A common profile is the person with bulimia, who leaves bulimia and starts to do physical exercises with high intensity and frequency. There are still people with chemical addiction who leave the drug and go on to addiction in exercise and even with other comorbidities such as anorexia and bulimia.
Muscle dysmorphia can develop quickly or over a long period of time. Its roots are basically in the way of dealing with stress and anxiety. In these situations, the behavior of addiction comes into play, putting the practice of exercises in an exaggerated way as a way of relieving these symptoms.
Even after realizing some losses due to the addictive behavior of physical exercises and planning to interrupt, the person just can't do it, they lost control. Who controls now is the desire to practice the exercises excessively and the thought that takes over the whole day is to feed their addiction. Thus begins an endless cycle of unhealthy behavior that makes them establish even deeper bonds of addiction.
