It's complicated: I hope i don't just confuse you with this. Any psychologically based disorder (not purely physical) can be brought into expression by trauma. Some do seem more likely than others, but not enough to rule any out. Trauma can make us hunger for control (protection). Many dx's (definitely eating disorders) are understandable as efforts for control. I'll try to help if this was unclear. Got it?
