Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors

According to research, about 3% of the population in the United States have BFRBs or Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors. 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.

These include pulling out hairs, biting fingernails, and picking on the skin, to name a few. Some are even related to other mental disorders, particularly Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety Disorder.

People with BFRBs usually find the behavior affects how they function in their daily lives. BFRBs usually manifest at a young age, but it’s still unclear when it actually occurs. Even the reason for BFRBs is still unclear, as studies regarding this are still very few.

This guide will help you understand more about this condition, as well as inform you about the different ways you can deal with it.
