Boys and men are obsessing over muscle. Doctors are worried
If you're struggling with body image issues or an eating disorder, help is available through the BBC Action Line and the US National Eating Disorders Association.
Over the last few decades, many people have learned what to look for when a young person, most often a young woman, develops an unhealthy relationship with their body. Typically, it has to do with that body getting thinner and smaller.
But according to Dr Roberto Olivardia, a clinician who has studied body image issues for more than 30 years, people are not always as good at recognising similar problems among boys. For young men, the obsession often is not about getting thinner. It is about becoming more muscular.
And that can make it really tricky to notice, because putting on muscle and working out are often seen as signs of progress and dedication.
And while most athletic young men will not develop a problem, Dr Olivardia says he believes this trend of body image issues among boys and men is getting worse.
