What is ARFID?

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder or ARFID is characterized by an extreme avoidance or restriction of certain foods, often due to sensory issues, low interest, or a fear of adverse reactions. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and other health complications.
