Adonis Complex

The Adonis Complex refers to a psychological condition where an individual, typically a man, becomes excessively preoccupied with their appearance and physical fitness, striving for an idealized body image. This obsession can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, over-exercising, or the use of steroids. It often stems from societal pressures, media portrayals of muscularity, and a desire for validation. While it primarily affects men, women can also experience similar issues. The Adonis Complex highlights the importance of balanced self-image and mental health awareness in an era where physical appearance is heavily emphasized.
