Answer Choices:
Control
🧠 While body image is a visible aspect of anorexia, the core psychological issue—especially in adolescents—is often the need for control.
Adolescents may feel powerless in other areas of life (e.g., family expectations, peer pressure, identity), and controlling food intake and body weight becomes a way to assert autonomy.
🧠 Body image concerns, anxiety, and behavioral changes are present, but control is the underlying driver in many cases of anorexia.
