Can't stop biting your nails?
Manage episode 432842943 series 2634716
Many people go through phases of nail biting in childhood, and fewer people continue biting their nails into adulthood.
It's a habit that can be difficult to break – especially when anxiety can be a trigger, along with boredom.
Norman and Tegan take us through the current treatments available for people who want to stop munching on their cuticles.
