Although medical professionals are in a agreement on what the official list of symptoms are of anorexia, there is much more disagreement when it comes to anorexia causes.
There are a few camps within the medical community when it comes to anorexia causes. These camps include the following categories:
- Genetics
- Neurobiological
- Nutritional
- Psychological
- Social
- Environmental
- Cultural
Although the above
anorexia causes have specific parameters to them, many proponents of one camp might also support other causes as well. The pervading opinion is that a combination of factors leads causes anorexia. Despite this view point many people have begun to look at society's emphasis on an overly thin physique as a serious factor in affecting a young woman's possibility of developing
anorexia.
