Anorexia and narcissism

[vetran]

Bad parenting

don't think so. Hence the mainly & comparison to PTSD.

Some people go through the horrors of war and they manage to compartmentalise them and others are consumed by them. I don't see why Anorexia shouldn't be the same.

And here is research to prove it

Anorexic Twins - Eating Disorders and Multiples

In fact, a 2014 study found that in a survey of more than two million individuals, children that were a multiple were 33 percent more likely to be diagnosed with an eating disorder.

So it could be parenting.

however

Their research showed that pairs of identical (or monozygotic) twins had a much higher incidence of disorders than fraternal twins. Because identical twins share a genetic link (they have the same DNA), scientists made the connection that heredity plays a role in the disorder.

so its Genetic as well.

Can we please show sensitivity when talking about eating disorders.

MF still doesn't like to think back on that time in his life.
