A member asked:
Diagnosed w/ mild mania. obsessed with picking at my legs & body. shaven hair stubble, etc. is this some kind of self mutilation? if so, how do i stop
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't sound easy: While mild manic symptoms may make a person feel energized, severe mania can be dangerous as people escalate seriously out of control. The picking obsession sounds really troublesome; your primary care doctor or psychiatrist may be able to help you find a medication to ease these symptoms. Don't give up on this. You deserve to feel better than you do now! lgromko md.
