How do genetic factors affect anorexia?

It is thought that there might be a genetic link towards eating disorders. The idea is that some people might be genetically predisposed to a certain trait or characteristic that leads them to develop an eating disorder suhc as anorexia. Certain traits such as anxiety, OCD, or prefectionism have both "nurture" (social influence) and "nature" (genetics) qualities. Since these are common factors found in nearly all anorexics, there is research being done to determine if anorexia may have a hereditary counterpart. As of now, it is thought that eating disorders may continually develop or show up in families due to social influences. If a mother or older sibling has disordered eating habits, a young child may pick up on them, copy them, and ultimately be more likely to worsen these habits and develop an eating disorder later on in life.

There are alot of reasons why someone might develop an eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. Some reasons people have an eating disorder is because they use it as a coping mechanism or a way to control their life. Other reasons might include the people thinking they are too fat. I know from firsthand experience with eating disorders that there can be many very different reasons. You see, Ive been suffering from an eating disorder for the past 2 years and I have not been through any treatment for it. Some reasons that I developed anorexia and bulimia is: * I wanted control over something in my life * I use it as a coping mechanism and as a way to block out emotions and feelings that I just dont want to feel * Perfectionism is also a reason * I think Im too fat. (I weigh 100 pounds and am Only 5 feet. My weight is going down more and more each day) * Depression * and just too much stress If you ever feel like you might have an eating disorder, please, get help. Having an eating disorder is one of the hardest things that you will ever experience, and also might be the last thing you experience if it progresses too far.
