causes.... (this is just what ive heard/read.. some of these might not be true)

depression - anorexia is normaly a depression related illness

lack of control - some anorexics often lack control in their lives, and the only way for them to gain control is to control what they eat.
genetics - its more common to become anorexic if there has been anorexia in the family, and like many people think, anorexia isnt caused by models and the media (etc.)... but its normally triggered by those things.

Causes? No one knows the cause of anorexia. Some say it is a control issue and others seem to think its genetic. You would be better off researching the effects of anorexia versus the causes.

most common cause is a dysfunctional body image.
