What is Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)? | Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Описание: Learn about Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) with Rebecca Berman, LCSW, MLSP, CEDS-S, Clinical Director at Anxiety Institute.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder that goes beyond picky eating. It can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and significant distress, particularly in children, teens, and young adults. Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID is not driven by body image concerns but rather by fear of food textures, past negative experiences, or low appetite.

In this video, our expert clinicians at Anxiety Institute break down:
✔ What ARFID is & how it differs from other eating disorders
✔ Common signs & symptoms to watch for in children and teens
✔ The impact of ARFID on mental and physical health
✔ Effective treatment options, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Parent-Based Treatment (SPACE-ARFID)
