What is ARFID Eating Disorder?

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by an intense aversion to certain foods or a lack of interest in eating. Unlike other Eating Disorders, ARFID is not driven by body image concerns. Instead, individuals with ARFID may avoid food due to sensory sensitivities, fear of choking or vomiting, or a general disinterest in eating. This disorder can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and difficulty maintaining proper growth and development, particularly in children. Early intervention and therapy can help individuals manage the disorder and establish healthier eating habits.
