Abstract

Feeding disorders, including avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and pediatric feeding disorder (PFD), are complex conditions that can occur in isolation or together. Feeding disorders have detrimental effects on children's physical, mental, and social well-being and contribute to significant family stress. Ideally, multidisciplinary assessment and treatment is used for proper diagnosis and management. This article compares and contrasts ARFID and PFD, discusses best practices with an emphasis on the role of the medical provider, and provides future directions to address barriers affecting care.
