Anorexia nervosa causes
Concerns about body weight and shape are often
features of anorexia nervosa, but they may not be
the main cause. Experts do not know exactly why
the condition occurs, but genetic, environmental,
biological, and other factors may play a role.
For some people, anorexia nervosa also develops
as a way of gaining control over an aspect of their
life. As the person exerts control over their food
intake, this feels like success, and so, the behavior
continues.
