  2. Obsession About Not Gaining Weight – Anorexia Nervosa Gaining weight is a nightmare for many people. Many people secretly dream of eating anything without gaining weight. But, the thought of not gaining too much weight becomes an obsession that leads to Anorexia Nervosa or anorexia. Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder that results in severe weight loss and is categorized as a psychiatric condition. People suffering from anorexia try hard on controlling their weight and shape, using extreme efforts. This usually tends to significantly interfere with their lives. Many factors like self-esteem and body-image issues, societal pressures, and genetic factors trigger the mental condition especially in females (more in the adolescence age). Men also are sometimes affected by it but the percentage is relatively low.

  3. What Factors Cause Anorexia Nervosa? There is no particular cause of anorexia nervosa. This is a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Biological: It is believed genes play a role in anorexia. There are genetic changes that make some people at a higher risk of developing anorexia. People with anorexia may have a genetic tendency toward perfectionism, sensitivity, and perseverance. Psychological: Often people with anorexia may have obsessive-compulsive personality traits that force them to stick to strict diets and forgo food despite being hungry. They tend to have an extreme drive for perfectionism that forces them to think they're never thin enough. This causes high levels of anxiety and engage in restrictive eating to reduce it. Environmental: The effect of modern culture emphasizes being slim. Beauty and worth are often equated with being thin. Peer pressure fuels up the desire to be thin, particularly among young girls.
