Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Characterized by significant restriction or avoidance of food intake not driven by body image concerns but resulting in nutritional or functional impairment.


Signs and Clinical Features:

  • Limited range of accepted foods
  • Sensory sensitivities to texture, smell, or appearance
  • Low appetite or early satiety
  • Fear of aversive consequences of eating (e.g., choking, nausea)
  • Weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, or reliance on supplements
  • Significant interference with social or daily functioning
