Why isn’t extreme body building considered a mental disorder but anorexia and others is?
Posted by: Alan in Anorexia Recovery Diet, tags: Anorexia, Body, building, considered, Disorder, extreme, isn't, mental, othersEver wonder this? Obviously anorexia nervosa is a recognized mental disorder that can lead to death. But, why isn’t extreme bodybuilding? You know where men take steroids and looking so unaturally buff and extremely unhealthy. I mean obviously anorexia nervosa and exteme bodybuilding are caused by emotional, biological, and environmental factors. But I just don’t understand why extreme body building isn’t considered a mental disorder? Is it because you don’t have a chance of dying, unlike anorexia?
