Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by extremely limited food intake that is not driven by body image concerns. Individuals with ARFID may avoid certain foods due to sensory issues, fear of choking, or lack of interest in eating, leading to nutritional deficiencies and growth problems. Early intervention with nutritional counseling and therapy can help improve eating behaviors and overall health.
