A member asked:
Could a family bereavement cause an eating disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: People react differently to a family bereavement. Most have grief ; are "simply" sad about the loss. Others may have a more serious depression or anxiety symptoms. Since eating disorders sometimes accompany depressed mood ; anxiety, this could also follow a bereavement. Also, some eating disorders seem related to psychological conflict; such conflicts may worsen during/after a loss.
