According to foreign media such as the New York Post, Thomas Sheridan (35) of Liverpool, England, has been misunderstood as a severe picky eater since he was young.
He was recently diagnosed with an "avoidance limited food intake disorder (ARFID)", and only then was able to understand his physical condition.
This disease is a type of eating disorder that does not consume certain foods, and refers to cases in which physical health and psychological and social functions are affected by eating only a limited amount or amount of food.
It is also distinguished from neurotic anorexia (anorexia) or neurotic bulimia, which shows inappropriate body-related obsessions, body image distortion, and fear of weight gain. The disease was included in the World Health Organization's 'International Classification of Diseases' in 2022.
Sheridan said the mere thought of eating eggs, sausages and vegetables makes her sick.
As a result, he is eating only white toast with butter, three bowls of cereal, and Haribo jelly. The lack of nutrients is supplemented by protein supplements.
He said he was prescribed antidepressants, but they didn't help, and now he's used to his situation.
Born with a weight of 4 kg, he had a normal diet until he was 18 months old.
One day after that, he began to refuse food.
At the time, the doctor told his parents "Just starve Sheridan until he eats."
Parents also tried to feed the young man by giving him a present, but to no avail. Each time he did, he had to go through extreme physical pain.
Since attending school, he went home for lunch and ate toast instead of lunch.
But after I became an adult, I had to suffer from people's negative views. This led to feelings of isolation and depression.
Now out of work, he is not living now, he is just surviving````````````````````.
Considering personal hypnosis for treatment, he is fundraising online.
