Low Interest In Eating Subtype

The low interest in eating subtype is a presentation of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) characterised by a lack of interest in food or eating, often leading to inadequate caloric intake and nutritional deficiencies. This subtype is not driven by body image concerns or fear of weight gain. Treatment typically involves behavioural interventions to increase food intake, nutritional counselling, and addressing any underlying sensory or psychological factors.
