Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

George's behavior is typical of someone with muscle dysmorphia, a disorder in which individuals become obsessed with building muscle and having a muscular body despite already being well-muscled or even muscularly large. Korsakoff's syndrome is a disorder typically associated with alcohol abuse and results in memory problems and confusion. Bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are eating disorders, and there is no indication in the scenario that George's behavior is driven by concerns about his weight or body shape.
