While society is a large factor in causing eating disorders, many other internal or personal reasons may also be causes. These include...

* Clinical depression

* Low self-esteem (as a result of bullying or by other reasons)

* Body Dismorphic Disorder

* Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

* Genetics (while not tentirely confirmed, some studies suggest there is a genetic link that makes individuals more prone to problems such as eating disorders)

* Self-motivated starvation for personal goals (not by influence of other outside opinions)

* Dieting gone too far
