Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a diagnosable eating disorder characterized by limited food intake and/or avoidance based on the sensory characteristics of food, such as texture, taste, smell, or appearance. In order to receive a diagnosis for ARFID, the individual's nutrition or social functioning must be significantly impacted by their limited eating habits. As Gina's eating preferences are limited to only yellow and white foods, it is possible that she may have ARFID, but a diagnosis can only be given if her nutrition or family relationships are significantly affected. The duration of ARFID behavior is not necessarily a determining factor for diagnosis.
