- Muscle dysmorphia (MD) is a disorder where individuals obsess over gaining muscle, often resulting in extreme exercise, strict diets, and steroid use.
- A study with seven men (ages 35-55) diagnosed with MD explored the effects of a 12-week Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program on their body image and behavior.
