Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a feeding or eating disorder in which individuals significantly limit the volume or variety of foods they consume, causing malnutrition, weight loss, or psychosocial problems.[1] Unlike eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia, body image disturbance is not a root cause.[1][2] Individuals with ARFID may have trouble eating due to the sensory characteristics of food (e.g., appearance, smell, texture, or taste), executive dysfunction, fears of choking or vomiting, low appetite, or a combination of these factors.[2] While ARFID is most often associated with low weight, ARFID occurs across the whole weight spectrum.[3]

ARFID was first included as a diagnosis in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) published in 2013, extending and replacing the diagnosis of feeding disorder of infancy or early childhood included in prior editions.[2][4] It was subsequently also included in the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) published in 2022.[5]
