ARFID, or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, is an eating disorder characterized by the voluntary limiting of food intake that is not related to distorted body image concerns, but instead to anxieties about food itself.
In 2013, ARFID diagnosis criteria was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), a clinician’s handbook published by the American Psychological Association that provides standardized classifications of mental health conditions.
While there is at this time limited research on the prevalence of ARFID, a 2022 study in The Journal of Eating Disorders reported that between 0.5% and 5% of children and adults in the United States have this disorder. Though ARFID most often first appears during childhood, it can develop at any age. Childhood ARFID sometimes persists into adulthood.
People with ARFID restrict their food intake because of anxiety surrounding the consumption of certain foods. They may have fears of choking or vomiting, or they may strongly dislike foods that have a certain taste, color, texture, or smell. A traumatic experience, such as force-feeding or a prior instance of choking, may lead to ARFID.

Some underlying neurological conditions, including autism, have been linked to the disorder. A person may be predisposed to ARFID if there is a history of eating disorders in their family.
Unlike the eating disorder anorexia nervosa, persons with ARFID don’t experience a distorted body-image or a desire to lose weight through severe calorie restriction.
Although ARFID is sometimes called “selective eating disorder,” it is not the same as being a picky eater. Picky eaters are usually young children who resist only a few, selected foods items, and being a picky eater doesn’t affect the child’s appetite or growth. Picky eating during childhood tends to go away on its own as the child grows into adolescence.
But ARFID can persist into adulthood and sometimes may not go away without treatment.
ARFID can have dangerous complications if a person is unable to consume sufficient nutrients to maintain their health. Treatment for ARFID often involves cognitive behavioral therapy. Sometimes gastroenterology treatment to address GI discomfort or medication to reduce anxiety and fears about food intake are used as well.

- Muscle weakness
- Low body temperature
- Abdominal pain/stomach cramps
- Constipation
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Cold intolerance

Behavioral symptoms

FAQs
While children usually grow out of picky eating, sometimes ARFID lasts into adulthood. Adults with ARFID are more likely to require medical intervention or hospitalization for the condition. ARFID in adults can cause nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues as well as psychosocial issues.
In adults, ARFID symptoms are often related to avoidance behaviors affiliated with sensory characteristics such as the taste, color, texture, or smell of foods. Sometimes, even the appearance or temperature of food is off-putting to an adult who has avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder.
Weight loss in adult ARFID patients is not related to body image distortion, as is the case in patients with anorexia or bulimia.
ARFID in children is more than the typical “picky eating” behaviors that many children exhibit. ARFID puts children at risk of nutritional deficiencies and physical, mental, and behavioral health problems associated with the disorder.
Signs of avoidant restrictive food intake disorder in children may include:
- Fears or resistance to new or unfamiliar foods
- Fears or negative reactions to certain smells, textures, tastes, or colors of food
- Overall lack of interest in food and often being “not hungry”
- Fears of adverse consequences of eating, such as choking or vomiting
- Food avoidance behaviors such as complaining of stomach pain, having a temper tantrum, or refusing to eat
Restricted eating in children can result in failure to reach normal weight goals for the child’s age or meet nutritional needs. It can also affect social development and possibly delay puberty.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association, a diagnosis of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder is made when restricted food intake leads to excessive weight loss with possible nutritional deficiencies, when food supplements or tube feeding are required, or when restricted food intake interferes with social and interpersonal relationships.
Food limitation associated with the following do not meet the criteria for ARFID diagnosis:
- Limited food intake due to food insecurity, religious fasting, or the presence of an additional medical condition
- Limited food intake due to a distorted body image or a desire to minimize body size and shape
- Limited food intake that results from a medical condition that does not exceed expected amounts of weight loss or cause a major complication to the overall health of the patient
A diagnosis of ARFID often involves a physical exam and blood or urine tests to determine a patient’s general health, possible nutritional deficiencies, and possible organ dysfunction.
ARFID includes some similarities to autism spectrum disorder. A 2023 study
reported in Current Opinion in Psychiatry found “a considerable overlap between ARFID and autism,” with 8% to 55% of children diagnosed with ARFID also having characteristics of autistic spectrum disorder.
Impact and Complications of ARFID
The consequences of ARFID can be severe. Consistently eating a highly selective, restrictive diet that avoids multiple foods or categories of food, such as fruits, vegetables, or meats, may result in deficiencies of key nutrients and lead to negative physical outcomes.
ARFID can also affect a person’s socialization opportunities. People with ARFID may avoid family dinners or avoid participating in other activities that involve food. Relationships, as well as work or school responsibilities, may suffer.
Serious complications arising from ARFID may include:
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Electrolyte imbalances
- Anemia
- Low blood pressure
- Lowered bone density
- Irregular heartbeat
- Delayed puberty
- Reduced physical growth

They offer truly comprehensive care for people dealing with both mental health and substance use issues, and the staff understands how deeply connected those challenges can be.

The team took the time to get to know them as a whole person—not just a diagnosis—and built a treatment plan that met their unique needs. Thanks to the support, structure, and clinical expertise at SunCloud, they finally started to feel real hope again.

Skywood is amazing..IF YOU WANT IT. If you are looking for a new beginning and to find yourself and discover who you are again while learning about addiction and simultaneously get sober, this is the place. The food is amazing, its absolutely beautiful, and you are surrounded by strong staff and nature. The staff is amazing, starting from intake and all the way up to the doctors. BRIE the PA IS PHENOMENAL choose her. This is NOT a summer camp for your kids that are not ready for sobriety. If your young adult child really wants help, ok, remember no one can fix someone that doesn’t want to get well, especially young adults.(18-25). This is a place to get better and to re-align with your spirituality, health, and values. 10/10 for anyone looking for a new and amazing version of effective treatment that is motivational, open to outdoors, and healthy. I learned more about myself in two weeks than I did in 8 years of following a different form of treatment. This is due to being rigorously honest, open minded, and wanting more than anything to be the best version of myself. Namasté, and good luck❤️🙏megan crowley3 weeks agoThis place changed my life. It was an unbelievable experience to say the least. The staff in every department were great, from the cooks, to nursing, to RA’s (big props to Ms. April!) to housekeeping to the therapists (I owe alot to my man Emmett!). They not only helped guide me to a new way of thinking and aspect but to unload alot of weight i carried for years. Its Day 101 and i feel like a better man each day. Not to mention the connections! i’m not only close to the guys i roomed with in my cabin, but am apart of a group chat of about 20 people from my stay and we all check in still and hold our own weekly meetings. I would 100% suggest this to anyone who came to me looking for help. Thank you Skywood for giving me the tools i needed to fight this everyday battle. I hope to one day come back as an alumni and share my experience and sober journey.William Gonzalez Jr.1 month agoSkywood was the best thing I could do for my sobriety! It was here where I got the tools to rebuild the house that I had burned to the ground… When I left I had rebuilt the frame for my life.

The Techs are wonderful they’re so welcoming and do anything to make you comfortable, the lead techs Keri & Scott are so insightful. The family program that the therapist Lystra conducted was the most HEALING EXPERIENCE and has helped with a lifetime worth of damage. We keep in contact weekly and it’s the most beautiful relationship I’ve bonded with a therapist, thank you Lystra for all you do.

Their support is unmatched, unconditional, and has been since our very first phone call. Restore has become family to all of us!Marni F1 month agoMy name is Susan, and I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict. I recently completed a stay at Restore Detox in Poway, and I can honestly say they helped save my life. Restore is truly a special place. The home is beautiful and peaceful, set up to host only six clients at a time, which creates an intimate, family-like atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I felt safe, supported, and understood. The staff is not only professional and knowledgeable, but they are also compassionate and genuinely invested in each person’s recovery. The amenities at Restore go far beyond what I expected. There’s a pool, hot tub, and even a pickleball court right on the property. They also bring in a personal trainer and offer yoga sessions, which really helped me reconnect with my body and start healing physically as well as emotionally. The combination of physical activity, relaxation, and structure made a huge difference in my recovery process. The group sessions were incredibly helpful and are led by staff who truly care. Even after leaving, I still attend groups because I’ve found a strong sense of community there. Restore didn’t just help me detox—they gave me tools, hope, and a new beginning. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, I can’t recommend Restore highly enough. Steven Ginsburg is the owner and founder, an amazing person who fully dedicate all his free time and even non-free time till the cause and the people and community at Restore. They helped me get my life back, and for that, I will always be grateful.Susan Felix2 months agoI was recently treated at Restore Detox Center and it changed my life.

And the 3 months that I was here, I learned a lot about myself. I dealt with trauma, wrote a good buy letter to each and every trauma I ever endured. I dealt with the passing of my father, while I was in the program. The love and support from the staff and the clients, help me to navigate this trying time. I was able to go to outings, alumni events; pool party volleyball speaker meeting. I was taking to a meeting a day. And best of all I was given all the tools that I need to be able to live my life clean and to handle any situation that comes my way without using! I’ll be forever grateful to cornerstone and for all the amazing, kind-hearted, genuine, down to earth family – I could have ever imagined to hope for! In addition to this, per cornerstone I was able to go through my steps with a sponsor, and I had the environment, that made me want to do the steps thoroughly, that’s something that I had always missed out on when trying to get recovered! Thank you cornerstone, I love you!!!Jason Wierschem2 weeks agoCornerstone provided the support I needed to build the foundation for what my recovery looks like today. I’m extremely grateful to say that I’m over 1 year clean and sober!Mason P1 month agoI came in broken—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Addiction had taken everything from me. But from the very first day, Cornerstone made me feel like I wasn’t just another number. The staff truly cares, and you can feel it in every conversation, every group, every moment. The clinical team is rock solid, the therapy is deep and real, and the community is powerful. It’s not some cookie-cutter program—this place challenges you, builds you back up, and gives you the tools to actually live differently. I’ve been to other rehabs before, but nothing compares to the connection and transformation I found here. Cornerstone helped me rebuild my life—and for the first time, I’m proud of the man I’m becoming. If you’re serious about getting clean and doing the real work, this is where you start. Thank you, Cornerstone. You gave me my life back.Garrett Thomas1 month ago1062 Lake Sebring Drive Sebring, FL 33870The Banyan Treatment Center is a facility located in Sebring, Florida.

Between therapy sessions, I had options like yoga, cold plunges in nature, art therapy, acupuncture, and many therapeutic adventures. It felt like real recovery, not just treatment. The staff is amazingly attentive—every single team member knew my name, remembered my goals, and checked in regularly to see how I was doing. They made sure I felt supported 100% of the time and built an environment that was both professional and warm. If you’re looking for a recovery center that cares deeply, customizes your journey, and injects a dose of fun and relaxation into the process—Maple Mountain Recovery is it.

Every single person I’ve worked with has been kind, professional, and deeply committed to helping people through the most difficult times of their lives.

I couldn’t be more impressed with this treatment center! My sister graduated their program, and today is her 4 year sober anniversary. I’ve seen such a positive change in her since then. I was reminded today of the huge hand they had in helping her. The staff at the rehab care for her and she’s still in contact with many of them til this day. When we visited ourselves the rehab itself was clean and comfortable. Can’t thank them enough because they helped my family member turn their life around, and I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking help with addiction.Robert Patel2 years agoABT was the program that helped me through my darkest time. Thanks to them I’m still clean today.

Where do I begin? Not only was this my first-ever rehabilitation experience, but it was also the most eye-opening experience I have ever had. I was uncertain about what to expect and, ultimately, I made the best decision possible. The staff, whom I refer to as specialists, made me feel immediately at home, and my counselor, Mike, went above and beyond in his duties. The facility offers numerous perks, including exceptional cuisine, impeccable grounds, and a spectacular overall atmosphere. I must note that the nurses are exceedingly polite and attentive to their patients’ needs, although I did find it somewhat disappointing that doctor visits were limited to only once. Personally, I did not experience any significant issues during my stay, aside from one supervisor who, I discovered, was not particularly friendly to either patients or staff. One of the highlights of the facility is the presence of Monarch butterflies, which are hatched on-site. Deb, one of the specialists, consistently displayed a warm and welcoming smile that brightened everyone’s day. Marworth offers a wide range of activities to keep patients engaged, as well as tailored treatment plans for individuals requiring additional support. I commend the facility on its outstanding work.Kyle2 weeks agoBest time of my life..I would go back if I could for a meeting..Best staff and community bar none. I will never forget this place ever.Madashell Guido4 months agoI went to Marworth for the first time after relapsing after about 5 years sober. When I went there I was a wildly unpleasant person to be around. I hated the world and myself. I was truly terrible to most of the staff. My behavior was argumentative, smug and mean at best. They still welcomed me back 3 more times. I was eventually given Amy as my primary counselor and, she not only took the time to try and understand why I was like that but, she also challenged me to be better. Over my time there I had the chance to get to know the staff very well. They’re good people. Who genuinely want to help people get to the life they’re meant to have. The specialists, rec team, cafeteria workers,house keeping,security(the list goes on and on)are wonderful. That’s what makes Marworth great. It’s not the amenities. It’s not the rock climbing wall, gym, cafeteria, or anything else you can think of. It’s the people that make this place what it is. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but nothing is. When I went in there looking for all the things that bothered me, I got nothing out of it. When I allowed them to help me, I got everything out of it.Adam Kamienski5 months ago49665 Wilshire Blvd Beverly Hills, CA 90212Synergy Empowering Recovery in Beverly Hills offers personalized, compassionate addiction treatment and mental health support tailored to each individual’s recovery journey.

This place and it’s staff have been nothing but wonderful to me. I came here scared of the thought of going to rehab but it all changed when I met Paul at the airport to Nikki and Christian at the house doing intakes. That’s to name a few of the staff who were basically in my shoes at one point in their lives so they know and understand us clients and where we’re coming from. Restorations has helped me regain my old sober self little by little and one day at a time. Roc is the man and I am forever grateful for everything he’s done for me in my time here in rehab.

Thank you to all that helped guide me to the path of a better life.Ross Attkisson4 weeks ago18+ years in recovery, one day at a time thanks to Caron Treatment Centers. I grew up in a loving home in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I always felt different than my peers, and this was compounded by relentless teasing at school. I started drinking when I was 14, trying to fit in and numb the pain of feeling like an outsider. By the time I was in college, my substance use escalated to harder drugs like cocaine and eventually, crystal meth. I moved on from beer pong with my fraternity to life in the fast lane with party drugs and the club scene. Following graduation, my life was chaotic. Being in the event planning profession, my behavior was tolerated. Often late to work, my performance was inconsistent, and no one could rely on me. I was not functioning. When my addiction led to two DUIs, jail time, and suicide attempts, I faced a sobering reality that I desperately needed help. My time in jail was a wake-up call, but then I violated my house arrest and pleaded for help. Rather than return to jail, my parole officer allowed me to get help. My family, who always supported me, set firm boundaries and helped me get into Caron. This changed my life. Today I am an event professional, living a fulfilling life and helping others how I can. I serve on several non-profit boards, including having the honor of being Vice Chair of the Caron Greater Philadelphia Regional Advisory Board as well as part of the Caron Treatment Committee and Chairing the annual Gala Planning Committee. Caron is so important to me that I have made Magic Mountain part of my legacy planning as a recent inductee to the Chit Chat Society. I would not be here today if it were not for Caron and my mom, dad, sister, other family members and friends, because they never turned their backs on me. If you or a loved one need help from substance use disorder, please consider calling Caron.Scott Barnes4 weeks ago663017 Pickett Road Durham, NC 27705Structure House is a residential treatment for individuals with binge eating disorder.

I went to Structure House in 2019. I can’t say enough about it. It helped me get into shape with the exercise classes and equipment. It helped me to develop healthy eating habits and because I stayed the whole month, I was able to stop my sweet cravings. In addition the classes taught me some great skills to catch myself when I want to go back to bad habits. I am actually 20lbs lighter now then when I was when I left (144lbs) and now in my husband has lost weight from the skills I learnt when there. My diabetes is a little better. So thankful for Structure House!Ulrika Kandler2 weeks agoIt was my first visit and I’m already planning to return next year.

I had a CCTA recently and the entire staff was great, from Registration to Transport, and then Nurses to my actual CT Tech, all provided excellent care.Jami Allen1 month agoOverall had a great experience here with my birth. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is my first nurse seemed so out of it like she was either having an off day or she was on something. She messed up my IV so bad I was gushing blood everywhere. Another reason was the anesthesiologist who did my epidural, I believe his name was Jim or something. He had a really bad attitude the whole time, acting mad at me for the conditions I was in. I only cried getting it done because of how he was treating me the whole time. The anesthesiologist who took care of me during my c-section though was beyond amazing!!! I was shaking from anxiety and he was comforting me the whole time, even was on top of taking care of me when I threw up afterwards. I think the first guy needs to learn what’s appropriate to say to women who are having severe labor pains and how to treat them. The comments about having terrible back anatomy for my age truly pissed me off.Fairy Momma1 month agoI recently had an experience at Banner Del E Webb Medical Center, and I am compelled to share what an absolutely exceptional facility it is. From the moment I arrived, the level of care, professionalism, and compassion was truly outstanding, earning them a well-deserved five stars. The staff, from the receptionists to the nurses, doctors, and support personnel, were all incredibly kind, attentive, and efficient. Everyone I encountered went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and provide clear, reassuring information. It’s evident that every team member is dedicated to patient well-being.Ryan Freeman1 month ago2No results Found.The combination of filters you have selected has no results.

Finding ARFID Treatment Today
Treatments for ARFID may include psychoeducation about nutrition and food safety, exposure therapy (gradually introducing new foods), anxiety management, and reward-based contingency interventions (giving praise or small rewards for bites of food eaten).
Currently there are no medications approved by the FDA for the condition, but medications that address anxiety symptoms are often used in ARFID treatment. Medications to increase appetite are also sometimes used.
Psychological treatment may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the beliefs, values, and thinking processes that maintain ARFID behaviors.
Family Therapy
Family therapy supports patients and helps them overcome lack of interest in food and eating, and fears of negative consequences. For instance, family members can emphasize the social interaction and bonding aspects of mealtime and reassure patients that others will be able to intervene if the patient experiences choking.
Sources for Professional Treatment
If you need professional treatment, you have a wide range of options, including:
Inpatient behavioral health treatment may be required if serious medical complications such as cardiac or gastrointestinal issues are present. Inpatient treatment offers 24/7 supervision with both medical and psychological clinicians providing care in a supportive, safe environment.
Outpatient behavioral health treatment provides treatment in daytime hours without overnight stays. Programs include partial hospitalization, or day programs, typically providing 4-8 hours of treatment per day over 5 days a week.
Treatment involves individual and group therapy, skills training, and medication management if needed. Intensive outpatient programs typically provide 9-20 hours per week of similar treatment. Regular outpatient programs may meet once or twice a week and offer individual, group, or family counseling and educational workshops.
Telehealth behavioral health treatment is available using online video conferencing or telephone sessions for people who cannot or prefer not to attend a program in person. You can find behavioral treatment programs near you by asking for a referral from your primary doctor, a nutritionist, or your insurance provider.
No matter which program you choose, access help as soon as possible to avoid serious consequences. Early intervention is important for achieving the best outcomes for ARFID treatment.
