A member asked:
Would a family bereavement cause an eating disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep an open mind: Try to be careful about thinking in terms like "cause". A stressful event or can provoke a person into displaying symptoms that might not have been expressed otherwise. That is different from causation. Yes, death of an important person can expose powerful feelings. Eating is a very emotional thing in our society. In civilizations where eating is basic life support it may not happen.
