At TEDxSydney 2017 Scott Griffiths, a body image and eating disorder researcher from the University of Melbourne, described how the increased focus on muscularity has led to an increase in the number of men with muscle dysmorphia - the so-called ‘male’ eating disorder. In this interview at TEDxYouth@Sydney 2017, Scott further examines the impact of muscle dysmorphia on young men with Curator Fraser Orford.
