ARFID- What is it?

Abstract

On occasion, a new syndrome or diagnosis appears, and there is plentiful research to support it. However, on occasion, a tangential or strange compilation of behaviors and emotions appears that is somewhat strange and esoteric. These conditions then appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and are readily accepted by some and questioned by others. This paper will attempt to review this syndrome or condition and examine and explore the elements 
of this diagnosis.
