WHAT IS SELECTIVE EATING DISORDER?

• For an individual with SED, there are many things
  they dont eat, and only very few things that
  they do. Most things that other people eat with
  pleasure are things that theyd never put into
  their mouths not just because they dont like
  them, but because they cant. Theyd have to
  force themselves to do it if they wanted to, and
  even then, its questionable whether itd work
  out or not. Often, whether theyre able to eat a
  particular food depends on the texture or flavour
  of the food, sometimes it might be the colour.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF SELECTIVE EATING DISORDER?

• The person may suffer from malnutrition with
  consequent physical problems such as digestive
  problems, electrolyte imbalances, low blood
  pressure and a slower heart rate.

TREATMENT

• If you feel that you may have a selective eating
  disorder, you should start receiving treatment
  right away. It begins with seeking the services
  of a general practitioner (GP) wholl diagnose
  the condition accurately and outline any medical
  problems accompanying it. Issues such as
  depression, anxiety, or substance abuse can be
  some of the areas needing treatment. The GP may
  then recommend the best treatment for your
  particular situation anything from nutritional
  counselling to psychotherapy, residential
  treatment, or support groups.
