How is it possible to get an eating disorder even though that person never struggled in life?

Eating disorders can develop for many different reasons and it's not necessary to have been struggling to develop one. It could be caused by a combination of genetic, psychological, social, emotional, and cultural factors. Also, even people who may appear to have a privileged or "easy" life can still experience pressure and expectations that can lead to an eating disorder. Eating disorders are a complex mental illness and can affect anyone regardless of their circumstances.

Because disorders are of the mind u can't know how that person things or what struggles they may believe they have gone through

Disorders (of any kind) and struggle in life are not connected.
