What is ARFID?
Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder is more than just “picky eating.” Unlike other eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia, individuals with ARFID are not trying to change their body size or weight. Rather, people with ARFID fail to meet their daily nutritional or energy needs due to:
- Inflexible eating habits
- Fear-based food restrictions
- A lack of interest in food or a limited food intake
This eating disorder affects all genders and is more common in children and young adolescents. However, it can occur in late adolescence and adulthood as well. Unfortunately, children with ARFID frequently become malnourished because of the limited variety of foods they will eat, underscoring the importance of treating this worrisome eating disorder.1 Serious health risks associated with ARFID include weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, growth problems and more.
