There is no exact one cause of anorexia. Some causes are... * Dieting gone too far or out of control * Depression, BDD (Body Dismorphic Disorder), distorted body image, OCD or "perfectionist" problems * Media portrayal of "thin is good", peer pressure (some dispute these, though) * Genetics / Biological (if your parent was anorexic, there is a higher chance you might become anorexic, too) * Insecurities about one's body * Stressful lives, people thinking that food is the only thing they can "control"
