Abstract
Visuality, which has come to the fore in recent years and the habits it brings, also reveal some both physical and psychological syndromes. Behaviours such as training addiction, anabolic androgenic steroid use, and performance-enhancing drug use cause muscle dysmorphia syndrome. In this comprehensive evaluation, both the training addiction caused by muscle dysmorphia and the psychological effects of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs used to become more muscular were compiled. Muscle dysmorphia and its accompanying syndromes, which have not yet been classified into the disease category by the American Psychiatric Association, are quite common. Pharmacological treatment and cognitive behavioural therapy come to the fore for body perception disorder, which is the closest disorder to this syndrome. More evidence-based controlled randomized studies are needed to evaluate muscle dysmorphia and similar syndromes in the disease category.
