Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a serious eating disorder characterised by persistent avoidance or restriction of food, leading to nutritional deficiencies, significant weight loss (or failure to grow in children), and/or difficulties with daily functioning. Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID is not driven by concerns about body weight or shape.

Anorexia Nervosa is a serious and complex eating disorder characterised by an intense fear of weight gain, a distorted body image, and restrictive eating behaviours. It is a mental illness with profound physical, psychological, and social impacts.
