Clinical view of an unfamiliar disorder

UNTIL I read Feelgood (Irish Examiner July 16), I always believed I used my local gym to improve my appearance, fitness level, state of health and social life.

But after reading the article entitled ‘Adonis Complex’ I now realise that I have been deluding myself, that I suffer from ‘body dysmorphic disorder’ and all the lads I chat with in the gym are fellow sufferers.

Thank you for highlighting this condition of which I was not aware.
