Individuals may develop eating disorders as a way of dealing with the conflicts, pressures and stresses of their lives. Eating disorders are often a vehicle to express control when the rest of your life seems out of control. Some people are more prone to be at risk than others because of genetics, heredity, family dynamics or temperament.
Eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes. People of all genders struggle with body image; eating disorders also do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or any other differentiating factors. Someone struggling with an ED may be under, over and even average weight.
