What is the treatment for ARFID?
Treatment for ARFID in Australia usually involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining medical, psychological, and nutritional support. Common treatments include:
- Psychological therapy – CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), family-based therapy, or exposure therapy
- Dietitian support – creating safe and balanced meal plans to address nutritional deficiencies
- Occupational or speech therapy – especially when sensory sensitivities or oral-motor difficulties are present
- Medical monitoring – by GPs or paediatricians to track growth, weight, and overall health
Tailored treatment depends on the individual’s age, symptoms, and health needs.
