There are almost as many causes as there are victims. Some theories focus on physical causes such as hypothalamic disorders, lowered levels of various neurotransmitters, and generic or hormonal disorders. Other theories emphasize psychological or social factors, such as perfectionism, perceived loss of control, depression, dysfunctional families, distorted body image, and societal pressures for thinnes.
Even though there is no definitive theory to explain anorexia nervosa and bulimia, it is important to recognize the symptomps and seek theraphy if the symptomps apply to you. There is no question that both disorders are potentially life-threatening and require treatment.
