What causes an eating disorder?

Eating disorders can be difficult to detect. The media glamourization of so-called ideal bodies, coupled with the view that dieting is a normal activity, can obscure a person's eating problems. It can be difficult for a person with an eating disorder to admit they have a problem. Knowing how to support someone with an eating disorder is also a challenge. Treatment is available - it can be a long process, but an eating disorder can be overcome. If you think that you, or someone you know, has an eating disorder, it is important to learn the facts. Gaining an understanding of these conditions is the first step in the journey to wellness. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating.
When someone has an eating disorder, their weight is the prime focus of their life. Their all-consuming preoccupation with calories, grams of fat,exercise and weight allows them to displace the painful emotions or situations that are at the heart of the problem and gives them a false sense of being in control. There can be a single cause.

An eating disorder generally results from a combination of factors.

Psychological factors include

  • low self-esteem,
  • feelings of inadequacy or lack of control,
  • depression,
  • anger or loneliness.


Interpersonal factors include troubled family and personal relationships, difficulty expressing emotions and feelings, history of physical or sexual abuse. Media promotion of unrealistic images and goals, along with its tendency to equate a person's value with their physical appearance is another contributor.


The possibility of biochemical or biological causes is a medical cop-out. Some people with eating disorders have been found to have an imbalance of chemicals in the brain that control hunger, appetite and digestion, possibly as a result of the disorder. There is a sickness for every time of the year or any mood you are in.

There is no scientific proof of any mental illnesses, eating disorders included.

There is no test which takes some liquid from your brain to test the imbalance of chemicals. These theories are just another source of prescription DRUGS.
