How can anxiety lead to eating disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impact: It is usually not the "cause" of an eating disorder. But, many people use dysfunctional eating behaviors to cope. Increased stress & anxiety is likely to drive up use of those coping mechanisms. As one's life spirals out of control they may progressively default to their eating disorder.
