It is very general, but yet, encompasses all facets of perceived physical imperfections of the body. There is one cavaet though.. alot of bodybuilders are aware that they are 'big'. They know they have a lot of body mass, but understand to compete as a bodybuilder they may need to be bigger. This is NOT unhealthy. A bodybuilder would be unhealthy if they looked in the mirror and seen an 'average' or 'small' man; despite having impressive muscle mass.<br><b>References : </b><br> Body Dysmorphic Disorder is the acute psychiatric illness that would be/is diagnosed in the case you mention.
