What causes some people to become anorexic?

Well there is a lot of reasons why someone would become anorexic. It is a mental disease and it has a lot to do with what they see in the mirror, clearly they don't like themselves and think they will like themselves feel better if they lost weight they are miserable. I know when I started I had very low self-esteem and I thought by doing that I will get more confidence and I was also having a lot of family issues. Anyways anorexia has to do with "control" and low self-esteem, the media, past abuse, depression...ect. Sometimes when someone becomes anorexic it has nothing to do with losing weight. It is a very complicated disease.
