Eating Disorders Awareness Week (EDAW) will be back 26 February – 3 March 2023. This year, Beat will be focusing on a health condition that we know doesn’t always get the attention it deserves: ARFID.
Why ARFID?
ARFID stands for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder and is a largely unknown and misunderstood eating disorder. ARFID can have serious consequences for health if left untreated.
The number of people affected by ARFID is unknown. Treatment is not available nationwide and people with ARFID, or who suspect they may have it, struggle to access the help they need.
