The fashion industry is responsible for illnesses such as bulimia and anorexia.

Over the course of many decades, the fashion industry has gained worldwide media attention regarding their perception of beauty, especially when it comes to the weight of the model.

According to NEDA, or the "National Eating Disorders Association", there are many psychological factors that may contribute to eating disorders, such as low self-esteem or depression and anxiety.

In addition, the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) reports that 47% of girls from grades 5-12 claim that magazines influence their decision to lose weight So, while the fashion industry may not be the direct cause of eating disorders, their presentation of too-skinny models can help trigger weight issues among those who already suffer from the psychological factors that contribute to the likelihood of developing an eating disorder.

A quick browse through various social media websites such as Twitter or Facebook will show just how prevalent the weight issue is in the fashion industry.

In conclusion, the fashion industry could be responsible but the social patterns in order to individual goals, success, despite the rest, are also guilty.
