Bigorexia Muscle Disorder or Muscle Dysmorphia On The Rise (VIDEO)

According to an official at the Adler School of Professional Psychology, about 45 percent of men who are obsessed with body building deal with bigorexia, also called muscle dysmorphia or a muscle disorder.

‘About 45 percent of men are dissatisfied with their body image. 1 in 10 people who are diagnosed with an eating disorder is a man,’ said Dr. Michele Kerulis the director of sports & health psychology at the Adler School of Professional Psychology.

‘This obsession can start quickly or it can begin over a period of time. We see psychological abnormalities including irritability, angry outbursts, which sometimes people would call a ‘roid rage,’ we see depression sometimes mania,’ said Kerulis.

Dr. Selene Parekh warned, ‘So individuals who have ‘bigorexia,’ a lot of them tend to use supplements and if you, you overdose on these supplements, without having a balanced diet you can develop kidney and liver failure, and as that happens you may need a liver or kidney transplant or your could eventually die.’
