Doctor Maurath says there are biological, psychological and cultural reasons for anorexia and for bulimia, the second most common eating disorder. About that where they literally can't judge the way that they look. What they do is vomit. They use laxatives. They use diuretics.
Exercise is a very common one.
That's one of the big factors. According to Doctor Maurath, disorders often occur in perfectionistic and dysfunctional families where children develop low self-esteem. The college women that are getting this are usually very bright, very high geared, very motivated, and look good. They're the perfect people and it's not good enough, essentially, when you think about it.
