So there's NO WAY I worsened my scoliosis?

 When I starved to 55 kg as a male at 16 to 18 years due to psychosis and anxiety, which is very skinny, did I somehow cause or worsen or develop my 25° S curve scoliosis? Or is it all in my genes? Do things like that just happen? Is it my fault? Can poor nutrition or starvation worsen scoliosis? Is there a link between me being skinny af when I was a teen and to my scoliosis? I got diagnosed at 19 years and I am now 20 years old.
I would like to hear your answers!

As it was advised to another member who has asked the very same question over several formats, you should consult your doctor. If you do not have one, then get one and ask he/she these questions.

So it seems like Sambod has dealt with you before, so my response will be short. here is a link to WebMD that might answer some of your questions, but it is always better to go to your own Dr.
