All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Eating/feeding disturbance (apparent lack of interest; sensory-based avoidance; concern about aversive consequences) → persistent failure to meet nutritional/energy needs
Core criterion B
≥1 of: significant weight loss/failure to gain weight; significant nutritional deficiency; dependence on enteral feeding/oral supplements; marked interference with psychosocial functioning
Core criterion C
Not better explained by food unavailability or culturally sanctioned practice
Core criterion D
Not occurring exclusively during anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa
Core criterion E
Not attributable to another medical condition or mental disorder (or clearly in excess of what routinely associated with that condition)
Consistent with [Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder]. Over a period of persistent restrictive eating, there have been avoidance based on sensory characteristics of food; concern about aversive consequences of eating; apparent lack of interest in food or eating; significantly restricted intake. The presentation is further characterised by significant weight loss; faltering growth trajectory; nutritional deficiency; dependence on enteral feeding or oral nutritional supplements; marked interference with psychosocial functioning. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, educational, or interpersonal functioning, are not better explained by lack of available food or culturally sanctioned practices, and do not occur exclusively during anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. In addition, body weight or shape concerns are absent.
