Pathologic Hairpulling, Skin Picking, and Nail Biting

Abstract: Research suggests that HP, SP, and NB are underrecognized problems that occur on a continuum ranging from mild to severe. Further research is needed, especially regarding the etiology of pathologic HP, SP, and NB, to foster the development of both effective and long-lasting treatments and prevention strategies.

“…While DBT was initially designed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, it has also been effective in treating other populations (Gratz et al, 2005). Problem solving interventions have been successful in the treatment of SMB (Townsend et al, 2001) and the prescribing of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be a helpful adjunct intervention for the SMB, PTSD, and depression constellation (Bohne et al, 2005;Cipriani et al, 2005;Nemeroff et al, 2006).…”

“…Human pathological grooming behaviors [i.e., pathological nail biting, skin picking, and hair pulling (trichotillomania) [Bohne et al, 2005]] are common in persons with OCD [Bienvenu et al, 2000;Richter et al, 2003;Hanna et al, 2005a], and they appear to be part of a familial OCD spectrum [Lenane et al, 1992;Bienvenu et al, 2000]. Although not all persons with OCD have a grooming disorder (GD), and OCD and GDs are not generally considered identical, the high within-person and within-family comorbidity among these phenomena may offer clues to the etiology of OCD.…”

“…''Nervous habits'' such as nailbiting, hair pulling, and skin picking are often seen by healthcare practitioners as common and benign, but awareness of the impairment linked to these behaviors is limited (Arnold, Auchenbach, & McElroy, 2001;Bohne, Keuthen, & Wilhelm, 2005). Due to the variance in criteria defining the BFRBs and under-reporting of symptoms, prevalence rates have been difficult to determine.…”
