This disorder involves a failure to take in enough nutrition, and a consequent failure to thrive, in the absence of an observable medical condition that could cause the problem. The onset is usually in the first year, but can be a year or two later; with age, most but not all children will improve without therapy. Many others can be helped with an educational (for the parents) and behavioral (for the infant or child) intervention.
