Motviktstruckar

Motviktstruckar, also known as "motviktstruckning" or "motviktstruckningssyndrom," is a condition characterized by the feeling of being overweight despite having a normal or underweight body mass index (BMI). This phenomenon is often experienced by individuals who have lost weight or are maintaining a healthy weight but still feel excessively fat or uncomfortable with their body image. Motviktstruckar can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychological issues such as body dysmorphic disorder, depression, or anxiety, as well as physiological factors like hormonal imbalances or metabolic disorders.

Individuals with motviktstruckar may engage in excessive dieting or exercise, leading to further weight loss or maintenance of a low weight, but they continue to feel dissatisfied with their body. This condition can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, affecting their self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. It is important to note that motviktstruckar is not a medical diagnosis but rather a subjective experience that can be influenced by various psychological and physiological factors.

Treatment for motviktstruckar often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including therapy, counseling, and sometimes medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used to help individuals develop a healthier body image and address underlying psychological issues. In some cases, medical interventions may be necessary to address physiological factors contributing to the condition. It is crucial for individuals experiencing motviktstruckar to seek professional help to address the underlying causes and develop strategies to improve their body image and overall well-being.
