What are some of the triggers that can lead to someone developing an eating disorder?
Low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, and feelings of helplessness, anxiety, and depression are all personality traits that make people more prone to eating disorders. Food preoccupation takes up a great deal of time. Individuals with eating disorders tend to be perfectionists. It can be a single incident such as being teased or ridiculed about weight or appearance that can act as a trigger in people who are emotionally vulnerable. Other triggers can include puberty, family dysfunction, a major change, or trauma (often sexual abuse).
