It is so easy to blame the victim when talking about eating disorders.

We see someone 'choosing' not to eat/not to have healthy relationship with food and we immediately blame them for this 'decision'. But who is really at fault here? Can you really blame someone for a mental disorder?

Of course NOT! You wouldn't blame someone for any other type of mental disorder so why treat this any differently...

So often we forget that anorexia is a MENTAL DISORDER with physical side effects. It actually takes over and reminds you everyday not to eat this or that. This is why you should seek professional help in order to overcome it (like you would with any other mental disorder).

So who is at fault? This answer is multifaceted, we have a genetic component that comes into play. But also, beyond the nature side, we have a nurture side. Who raised the victim? Who was he/she exposed to? What resources did he/she have access to during a time of need? Who does he/she look up to, whether a real or fictional person...

Simply put, you cannot pinpoint blame to one specific person or thing, there are many different reasons for developing an eating disorder and many different factors that go into one.

Let's continue to raise awareness about these issues so we can come up with a solution, together!
