Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is a new diagnosis in the DSM-5 and was previously referred to as “Selective Eating Disorder”. ARFID is an eating disorder characterised by a persistent avoidance or restriction of food intake that leads to significant weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, and/or impairment in physical or psychosocial functioning. Although many children go through phases of picky or selective eating, a person with ARFID does not consume enough calories to grow and develop properly and, in adults, to maintain basic body function.
