Causes for Anorexia

Some of the main causes for anorexia are:

• The personality traits that are associated with anorexia: perfectionism, obsessiveness, approval-seeking, low self-esteem, withdrawal, irritability, and black-or-white thinking.
• Physical or sexual abuse can trigger anorexia.
• Other conditions such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD may contribute to anorexia.
• Heart disease - The heart may also be responsible for anorexia by developing dangerous rhythms, blood flow is reduced, blood pressure may drop.
• Reproductive and Hormonal Abnormalities - Anorexia causes low levels of reproductive hormones, changes in thyroid hormones, which may cause sterility and bone loss.
• Blood problems - Anemia, pernicious anemia caused by severely low levels of vitamin B 12 and a life-threatening condition called pancytopenia are common among anorexics.
• Body dysmorphic disorder.
