Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jason's belief that he is thin and weak despite rigorous exercise and compliments from others is indicative of muscle dysmorphia, which is a disorder that involves a distorted perception of one's body size and shape. This disorder is also known as "reverse anorexia" because, in this case, the individual perceives themselves as smaller or weaker than they actually are.
