So is scoliosis my fault?
Hi, I've had underweight for a year or so at 17 or 18 years eith 55 kg as a male. Then at 19 years we found a 20° S curve scoliosis. Did my underweight cause and worsen my scoliosis? Was it all preventable? And is it all my fault? Thank you.

Is scoliosis my fault?
Hello I want to workout for strength and I still do but I keep thinking about my scoliosis which holds me back from giving my best, if you know what I mean. Basically I had a rough time once in a school and I developed psychosis and anxiety. Due to that at 19 years I became underweight of only 55 kg as a male with 1.82 meters of height. In the same year late at 19 years they found a 20° S curve scoliosis. Do you see why this bothers me? Are these things connected? Was my underweight at fault for my scoliosis? Or maybe I was sitting incorrectly in front of the pc? What did I do wrong? I really don't want to have scoliosis but I feel guilty of causing my own scoliosis. Is it my fault and did I worsen it? Or does it have nothing to do with that stuff? I just want to get rid of this problem. Thank you. :)
