Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions rooted not in food or weight, but in a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Genetics, brain chemistry, and family history can increase vulnerability. Psychologically, traits like perfectionism, anxiety, and the need for control often lead individuals to use disordered eating as a coping mechanism. Culturally, societal pressures—such as diet culture, media influence, and body image ideals—can intensify the risk, especially when combined with trauma or identity stress.
