Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a condition far beyond picky eating. ARFID isn't just about disliking certain foods; it's a serious eating disorder that leads to real health issues, setting it apart from typical food preferences. In this video, I'm answering the 6 most common questions I get about ARFID, like how it is diagnosed, its symptoms, and what makes it different from being a bit finicky about food. Whether you're dealing with ARFID, know someone who is, or are just curious about eating disorders, this video is for you!
