Description:
Have you noticed a new eating disorder diagnosis? In addition to anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, & binge eating disorder, the DSM-5 added criteria for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). You may be asking, "What exactly is ARFID?" There are many ways that ARFID is similar to other disorders, but it is a very specified diagnosis. Registered Dietitians have an important role to play in treating this eating disorder at all stages. Those who work with pediatric populations may be especially interested in learning more about ARFID. In this webinar, attendees will learn what ARFID is, the diagnostic criteria for ARFID, and how ARFID should be treated. Two case studies will be examined.

• Define Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and its diagnostic criteria.
