    Its a habitual action that may at first be associated with tension, but later becomes ingrained as a reflexive action. It appears to be associated with low dopamine and serotonin levels. There is a cognitive therapy called habit reversal that has been shown to be effective training for both adults and children who have severe nail biting problems.

    There is a also an OTC product called Control-It tm that is purported to stop this habit by negative association.

    Stress management techniques (control and stress avoidance) are helpful in preventing this OCD-like behavior.

    I can believe that. I take 5-HTP serotonin boasters everyday just to help me function a little better. I have to bite my nails, or I would start chewing away the inside of my lips.

    In the end no drug can compete with good old classical conditioning.
