Avoidant/Restrictive Food Disorder
Definition
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by an extreme avoidance or restriction of food intake, which can lead to significant nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, or impairment in social and occupational functioning. Unlike Anorexia Nervosa, ARFID does not involve a distorted body image or an intense fear of gaining weight but may include aversions to certain foods or fear of adverse consequences from eating.
