Restrictive Intake Self-Harm (RISH): Practice considerations for the management of RISH across care settings and age

RISH is a formulation-led term for presentations where restricted intake functions as self-harm (regulation/attachment/communication of distress), distinct from AN. Coined in response to lived-experience feedback that labels like OSFED/disordered eating/“acute food refusal” were unhelpful; it supports tailored assessment and treatment planning.
