Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by a limited range of foods consumed and an avoidance of certain textures, colors, or smells. Individuals with ARFID may have a strong aversion to specific foods, leading to significant weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, or reliance on supplements. Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID does not involve concerns about body image or weight. People with ARFID may experience anxiety around eating or have sensory sensitivities that make mealtime challenging. This disorder can affect individuals of all ages, but it often begins in childhood. Early intervention and support from healthcare professionals can help manage symptoms and improve dietary habits.
