> I am not depressed or anxious but I tend to bite my nails down to the cuticle---ouch.
> I have tried the stuff you paint on your nails with the yukky taste, and even wore gloves to stop from biting. But nothing works. Do any current medications help with this? And what about hypnotism?
I would first suggest you try behavior modification therapy before going the medication route. Google therapy for bitting nails and you should find some info for stimulus control therapy too.
