The article is devoted to the study of the theoretical aspect of the influence of personality anxiety on the development of eating disorders. It is known that eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or paroxysmal overeating are very often comorbid with other mental disorders. These disorders may include (but are not limited to) depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. As we can see from the list, most often anxiety goes hand in hand with eating disorders, which is expressed in generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and to some extent obsessive-compulsive disorder. Despite the fact that many scientific studies have been conducted to prove this relationship, many of them suffer from methodological problems that limit the usefulness of the results obtained.
