Yes, sometimes. Many anorexics suffer some form of depression or isolation. A good percent have low self-esteem or low body-image too. Often, they have a lack of support or have some mood swings that can lead to developing anorexia.

Yes. Mental illness, especially depression, can be a major trigger for eating disorders such as anorexia. This cause is intensified if the depression stems from social occurences, such as bullying or teasing, particularly about image or body.

Anorexia is commonly associated with low self-esteem and social isolation. This can lead to depression as well in many teens and young adults. The self harm cycle also reinforces the effects of depression.
