2 MAY 2024 · On this edition, Archie is joined by special guest Dr. Emma Willmott, Senior Clinical Psychologist in the NHS and a key member of the ARFID Service. Archie and Dr Willmott explore complex relationship between ADHD and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). They uncover how impulsivity and inattention intersect with eating challenges, discussing strategies for managing both disorders effectively.  Tune in to gain a deeper understanding and discover actionable approaches to mental and nutritional health. ARFID is a condition characterised by a person’s avoidance or restriction of food intake. This is not driven by concerns about body weight or shape but may result from disinterest in food, sensory discomfort with food textures or smells, or fear of adverse consequences from eating, such as choking. ARFID can lead to nutritional deficiencies and significant weight loss, impacting both physical health and social functioning. It differs from more well-known eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, as it lacks a focus on body image. Follow Dr. Willmott on Twitter @emwills11 for more updates and professional insights.
