Extreme picky eaters are at higher risk of depression

Children who are extreme picky eaters may have an eating disorder that puts them at a higher risk for depression and anxiety.

A child who is underweight, eats less than 20 types of foods and gets anxious around food may suffer from avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), the second most common eating disorder in children under 12.

The anxiety and fear ARFID sufferers experience around new food can cause social limitations, such as the inability to eat at a friend's house or go to a birthday dinner, which can lead to depression and other eating disorders.
