Selective Eating Disorder
Selective Eating Disorder, also known as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), is a condition where individuals have a limited range of foods they are willing to eat. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies and social challenges, as those affected may avoid certain textures, colors, or types of food.
People with Selective Eating Disorder often experience anxiety around mealtime and may refuse to try new foods. Unlike typical picky eating, this disorder can significantly impact daily life and overall health, requiring support from healthcare professionals for effective management and treatment.
