Yes. Media and social influences have been known to have a great deal of influence over self-image and self-esteem, which can lead to mental problems like depression and possibly to the development of eating disorders.
many men/boys suffer for eating disorders however, because it was seen as something associated with females not many men spoke out about it. but as in the media a while back the British MP John Prescott suffered from Bulimia. There is a growing number of males with eating disorders coming out.

Britney Spears has publicly attributed her struggles with bulimia to the immense pressure of fame, the demands of the entertainment industry, and personal challenges, including her highly scrutinized public life.

The study of eating disorders benefits from multiple models of abnormality, including the biological, psychological, and sociocultural perspectives. The biological model emphasizes genetic predispositions and neurochemical imbalances that may contribute to disorders like anorexia and bulimia. In contrast, the psychological model focuses on cognitive distortions and emotional regulation issues, while the sociocultural model examines the impact of societal pressures and media portrayals on body image. Together, these models provide a comprehensive understanding of eating disorders, highlighting the interplay between biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
