Recognizing Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) as a serious feeding and eating disorder and acknowledging the urgent need to advance awareness, early identification, research, and equitable access to care.

H. Res. 1365 is legislation introduced in the House that recognizes Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) as a serious feeding and eating disorder. It says ARFID causes real medical and developmental harm and can last from childhood into adulthood without early help. The resolution calls for better awareness, earlier identification, more research, and wider access to multidisciplinary care (care from different types of specialists working together). It also urges schools and governments to support people with ARFID, which matters because it could help children and adults get diagnosed earlier and receive care sooner.
