Four prominent theories of eating disorders include the biological theory, which suggests genetic and neurochemical factors contribute to these conditions; the psychological theory, emphasizing issues such as low self-esteem and perfectionism; the sociocultural theory, which examines the impact of societal pressures, cultural ideals, and media representations of body image; and the developmental theory, focusing on the role of life transitions and stressors during adolescence.
