Its because of either the physical or mental abuse they had gone through. I'm an anorexic binge purge sub type. I have both the illness of a bulimic and an anorexic. I am this because relatively, bulimics are not underweight. That's where anorexia comes in. But because of the self loathe and public loathe that the only way to feel accepted is to do whatever it takes to be the skinniest person there. It's not really ALL choice. It does take over your body and recovery will be harder. Fix it the sooner the better

Many of the people who have anorexia or bulimia use it as a way to cope with depression, to conquer a fear of becoming overweight, or to "meet the expectations" of family/friends/coaches who pressure them.

There are literally dozens of reasons why people become anorexic. Often, it is a mix of many different factors that ultimately lead to the development of an eating disorder. However, there are some large standouts that are known to commonly cause eating disorders. Main ones are low self-esteem and low self-worth, along with self-doubts over body image. Teasing and being made fun of over weight can lead to dieting, which can easily get out of hand and lead to an eating disorder like anorexia. Another factor is that of the media, as models and magazines often protray "thin is good" ideals. Also, there is some genetic link and if a direct family member suffered (biological family member) from anorexia, there is an increased risk that the perosn will also suffer from it.

People do not 'get' anorexia, they give it to themselves. It is a mental state that gives it to you.

If you are bullied about getting fat or want to look 'beautiful' the way the media see it, became may became anorexia to became this way.

however it is not something you can simply catch

Usually, when someone becomes anorexic, it is not due with them wanting to be thin. Most of the the time, they have problems at home, school or work. Starving themselves to thin is actually a cry for help. Only 10% of anorexia sufferes start by wanting to be thin.

People become Anorexic in the effort to appear thinner. They contract Anorexia Nervosa because whatever the reason, Public or Social Stress, etc, they feel that they are obese to a level they can not stand. So, they starve themselves.

The causes is not fully understood. It is mostly due to a psychological condition typically found in females. Although they appear to have a slender figure, they continue to convince themselves that they are not skinny enough. This is a result of social pressures, media influence, rejection of sexual maturity, or the strive to become perfect.

Anorexia occurs when the body is reduced to 15% or more below their expected body weight. This leads to detrimental results to the body such as abnormal hormonal secretions and a weak heart muscle. Anorexics may eat but they will later force themselves to throw up or take laxatives They also over-exercise, keeping a mentality that they will have the perfect figure.
