APA Dictionary of Psychology

in DSM–IV–TR, a category of disorders characterized by pathological feeding or eating behaviors that are usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence. They include pica, rumination, and feeding disorder of infancy or early childhood. In DSM-5 and DSM-5-TR, this category was removed, and the designations of pica, rumination disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder were introduced as independent designations.
