I was watching a show and they had a quote from American journal of psychiatry that girls who suffer from anxiety are twice as likely to develope and eating disorder as adults?
Is that really true? It seems a bit far fetched to me. |

It would make sense. Anxiety usually stems from an individuals inability to control their environment to their liking or having to face the what is/unknowns.
A big part of eating disorders is the ability to take control above and beyond to the point where survival necessities can be ignored. |

I'm not too surprised that they reported a statistic like this. Also, people with anxiety can become anxious when they have to eat in public. |
