For many living through the COVID-19 era, exercise has been a lifeline, a coping mechanism. RunRepeat reports an 88% increase in the among of people who, before the pandemic, would exercise 1-2 times a week, with 60% of men saying their top reason was for their mental health.

But for some, the pleasure of getting fit and in shape will spiral into obsession leading to eating disorders and muscle dysmorphia.

When someone, most often men, suffers from muscle dysmorphia, they're hyper-fixated on building muscle and looking "ripped," with weight and muscle goals that can ruin their lives. Muscle dysmorphia is a subset of body dysmorphia disorder, which is a subset of OCD.

Jeg tenker at å løfte vekter ikke er en mental sykdom. Muskeldysmorfi er en mental sykdom. Har jo vært i søkelyset i flere år dette, så ikke akkurat noe nytt.

Å løfte vekter er ikke en sykdom, men OCD, dysmorfofobi og ortoreksi er sykdommer.
