Professionals believe that the cause of anorexia is broad, and the disease can develop or stem from a number of problems. Most commonly, anorexia is believed to develop from mental problems, like depression, BDD (Body Dismorphic Disorder), and now-self esteem. Anorexia can commonly happen as a reault of a simple, common diet that becomes excessive and too extreme. Some believe that anorexia might have a genetic link to it, as individuals with a mother who was anorexic have been seen to be more likely to develop an eating disorder, too. Some think that social factors, like media, can cause anorexia, but that is highy disputed.
