ARFID Circle provides a safe space for individuals and their loved ones to find resources, share their experiences with ARFID, and find support. We believe that education and awareness are crucial in addressing this disorder, and we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information. Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder or ARFID is characterized by an extreme avoidance or restriction of certain foods, often due to sensory issues, low interest, or a fear of adverse reactions. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and other health complications. The goal of the ARFID Circle is to share first-hand knowledge of living with ARFID and share real-life stories from others who have ARFID or have loved ones with ARFID.

Such important work being discovered on ARFID and correlation with other disorders. Thank You ADDitude Magazine for highlighting this study. #ardfidcircle
Children and adolescents with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) face a relatively increased risk for autism, ADHD, ODD, anxiety, and more comorbid conditions, suggests a new large-scale study. https://lnkd.in/ejE_NU5a
Very helpful information and important to share and create more awareness and acceptance.
The first step towards better help and support for ARFID is understanding. Here is a roundup of information on ARFID to share with family and friends ?? #ARFID #ARFIDAwareness #ARFIDAwarenessUK

We're coming to the end of Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2025, but that doesn't mean that our mission to spread awareness, provide support and debunk myths about eating disorders stops! Here are some common misconceptions you highlighted to us, and how we can all promote the truth about the seriousness of eating disorders, but also that there is hope, and recovery is possible ?? #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek #EDAW2025 #AnyoneAnytime

As we approach the end of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (#EDAW), I think it's important to share some useful information and resources. The theme this year is "The Time is Now," which carries a powerful message about the urgency of addressing mental health challenges. Every 52 minutes, someone loses their life to an eating disorder, making it one of the most serious mental health conditions, affecting ~29 million Americans in their lifetime. Yet, despite its prevalence, there's still so much misunderstanding about eating disorders and the barriers people face in seeking help. Let’s amplify the call for more research funding and evidence-based treatments. Eating disorders impact people of all ages, genders, and races, and it’s time we ensure everyone has access to the care they deserve. More research means better understanding, more effective interventions, and ultimately, changed lives. The?Time is Now. Below, I have included some links to resources and toolkits: -National Eating Disorders Association: https://lnkd.in/djEJY6yd -HHS Office on Women’s Health: https://lnkd.in/dGSwePAs -National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH): https://lnkd.in/dNyt9r2A #NEDAW?#mentalhealth #research #eatingdisorders

Challenges related to food are common among autistic individuals and can vary greatly in how they present. The conditions listed in this image are just a few examples of what some autistic people may encounter.

Great work being done by NAMI and NationAl Alliance For Eating Disorders.
We’re proud to collaborate with NAMI to ensure eating disorders are part of the general mental health conversation??. Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that often co-occur with anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use disorders, and more.

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week shines a light on all eating disorders, including ARFID. With patience, support, and small steps forward, food can become less of a fear and more of a source of nourishment and peace. Every victory—no matter how small—is progress. Keep going; healing is within reach. #ARFIDCircle?#EDAW #eatingdisorderawareness #arfidawareness?#arfid?#arfidrecovery?#eatingdisorderrecovery?#mentalhealthawareness?#eatingdisordersupport?#mentalhealth
