Vigoroxy, or muscle dysmorphic disorder, is a psychological disease characterized by constant dissatisfaction with one’s body, which mainly affects men between the ages of 18 and 35 (this does not mean that it cannot occur in women), leading them to the exhausting practice of physical exercise. and very restrictive diet. It is a disorder already classified as one of the manifestations of the obsessive-compulsive disorder spectrum. Vigoxia and anorexia nervosa are in some respects similar disorders, as they interfere with the distorted vision that sufferers have of their own body. In front of the mirror, emaciated and malnourished anorexics see themselves as obese, while vigorous anorexics see themselves as weak, thin, frail, despite being strong and very muscular. ©Satrio Ramadhan by diversifylens via Canva.com What are the symptoms? The main symptom occurs when an individual who is in excellent physical shape continues to think that his body is inadequate, is always dissatisfied and always wants more results. Also: muscle pain throughout the body, irritability, depression, extremely restrictive diet, insomnia, increased resting heart rate, feeling of inferiority, insecurity and lack of interest in activities not related to intensive training to achieve what one considers to be the perfect body. Vigortics follow a very restrictive diet and abuse of anabolic steroids is common, as they aim to increase muscle mass. They are normally always dissatisfied with their results, seeing themselves as very thin individuals, despite having well-developed muscles. Therefore, Vigoxia is considered a type of OCD and requires treatment. Vigoxia is an emotional disorder, but it is believed that there may be some relationship with neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, as some cases of Vigoxia have been preceded by diseases such as meningitis or encephalitis. Long-term vigoroxia can have harmful consequences for the body, such as kidney or liver failure, blood circulation problems and depression. According to endocrinologist Dr. Carolina Mantelli, the most recommended treatment in case of vigoroxia is psychotherapy, the objectives of which are to make the individual accept himself for who he really is and increase his self-esteem. It may be necessary to use antidepressant and/or anxiolytic medications in combination with a balanced diet, guided by a qualified professional. People with Vigoxia rarely admit their condition. Therefore, diagnosis and initiation of treatment are usually instituted late. Stay tuned!
