That is over 10 million Americans suffer from a group of disorders that are usually related to self-grooming habits. These habits or behaviors may seem harmless at first, but because of how frequently they are done, they start to cause harm to the individuals who suffer from them.

These behaviors are overly done habits that are categorized as multifaceted disorders that cause individuals to recurrently touch or pick on their specific body parts that often result in physical harm.
