Many people misunderstand what causes their eating disorders and
how dangerous it is and they deny that they even have a problem.
When people hear of someone with eating disorders, they almost
automatically assume the person has a problem with food. Eating
disorders are not a sign that a person has a problem with food,
to a certain extent disorders are actually only the symptoms of
underlying problems in that person's life. With proper
treatment, that person may recover from the disorder.
While it has been found that some eating disorders sufferers
have imbalances in certain chemicals in the brain that control
hunger, appetite and digestion, potential biochemical or
biological causes of eating disorders are still being examined
by researchers In addition to biochemical or biological factors,
several psychological factors, socio-cultural and interpersonal
factors can be attributed as causes of eating disorders. A
significant risk factor for the development of eating pathology
appears to be represented by low self-esteem. The tendencies to
be perfectionist and setting rigid standards for oneself may
lead to some eating disorders. Depression, anxiety, emptiness or
loneliness, anger and feelings of lack of control in life or
feeling of inadequacy are other psychological factors that
greatly cause eating disorders.
Socio-cultural factors could be cultural pressures placing
extreme value on "thinness" and obtaining the "perfect body".
The cultural norms placing emphasis on physical appearance and
not on inner strengths and qualities as well as defining beauty
as extremely narrow including specific body weights and shapes
greatly contributes to the development of eating disorders.
Furthermore, media messages encouraging dieting likely lead to
high rates of chronic dieting also has some part being played
for the risk of having disorders. Eating disorders develop from
a variety of causes and they are creating self-perpetuating
cycle of physical and emotional destruction. Moreover, all
eating disorders require professional help.
Some individuals who have difficulty expressing one's feelings
and emotions may add up to other causes that leads to eating
disorders. Interpersonal relationships, family disharmony,
history if being ridiculed based on body size or weight, history
of sexual abuse and/or physical abuse and family factors such as
obesity in the family, parental preoccupation with eating and
weight, unrealistic expectations achievement are all
interpersonal factors that develop eating disorders.
Lastly, the number one stepping stone to eating disorders is
dieting and it is important that you put your bad dieting on
trash. You have to be real by freeing your body from the
possible impact that your dieting is about to give you after.
Better off spend your money and your passion on something that
really matters to your without you risking your health.
