Why did patients apply to this trial?

Our child has struggled with eating since the age of three. Although he has never been interviewed for diagnosing, he meets the criteria for ARFID. I’ve been a mental clinician for thirteen years and can definitively say that he has an eating disorder, and it looks just like ARFID.
