The issue affecting a lot of people in my dc is body insecurity. I am part of a gym dc and have noticed that many do not feel confident to work out in public areas because of the way they feel about their body. This is a serious mental problem that can interfere with someone’s goal of becoming healthy and fit. I have researched the mental illnesses that could affect people’s motivation to join a gym. I have found that a lot of people suffer from body dysmorphia and never are satisfied with how their body looks. A lot of psychologists are talking about this because it is very common and takes up most of the persons thinking. Body dysmorphia can prevent the person from wanting to leave their house because of their body appearance.
