Eating disorders are complex brain disorders with
strong genetic, neurobiological and psychological
underpinnings. No single person, experience, or
issue causes an eating disorder. They often
co-occur with and can be hidden by anxiety
disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD, and substance
use disorder. The good news is that we don't need
to know the exact cause of your child's eating
disorder to treat it effectively. Researchers are
still learning what triggers or "turns on" eating
disorders in the brain. For many, it seems to
come from a negative energy balance caused from
more calories out than in which can be triggered
by a diet, over-exercise, stomach bug, or
surgery. Once that imbalance occurs, a switch
flips in the brain, turning the eating disorder
on and tyrannizing the brain.
