There are many types of psychosocial disorders that have different causes. Some psychosocial disorders are genetic and some people simply experience them in daily life.

Isabelle was also a model for a while, a very famous model at that. “She wrote her own autobiography in 2008, discussing her anorexia at age twelve; she also started her own life... middle of paper ... adolescence, mostly females, but males experience this problem. (Lilienfeld, Lynn, and Namy) Adolescents can suffer from anorexia, family problems, social stressors, and cultural stressors in many ways.
