Of course : Amenorrhea is caused classically by anorexia and stressful situations, and your scenario dies allow for this cause-effect relationship. However, there are functional and hormonal failures that are not necessarily due to nutritional failure or stress. You need to have a thorough evaluation and hormonal bloodwork done by a gyne endocrinologist, if diet modification and stress reduction don't help
