What can i do to stop my self-soothing depressive habits like twisting my hair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Behavior therapy: Habits can sometimes be well managed by behavior therapy techniques involving substttuting other behaviors, monitoring, setting goals and rewards, etc. Some nervous habits can also respond to ssri medication which can help and certainly would be an appropriate option, if there is significant depression.
