Eating disorders often develop during the teenage years due to a combination of emotional, biological, and social factors. Genetics can play a role if there's a family history, while emotional stress like anxiety, depression, or trauma can trigger unhealthy behaviors. Cultural pressure from unrealistic beauty standards, extreme dieting habits, and perfectionism-where teens try to control their food intake and body image-are also common contributing factors. If you or someone you know is struggling, it's important to reach out for support. Book a consultation today!
