Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder or ARFID is similar to anorexia nervosa where caloric intake is restricted, but a person with ARFID doesn’t feel overweight or have a skewed perspective of themselves.
Individuals with ARFID are often described as a really picky eaters. They restrict what food goes in their bodies and are obsessed with caloric intake and fat percentage.
ARFID can affect a person social or work lives because they tend to avoid events that involve food. Some of the signs of ARFID are weight loss, lack of interest in food, avoidance of food, dizziness, trouble sleeping and irregular periods in women.
