Nail-biting, skin picking, and finger drumming are only a few of the nonfunctional motor behaviors or tics almost everyone seems to have, according to psychologists. Our guest explains the different type of repetitive, nonfunctional motor behaviors, why people engage in them and how they affect personal relationships and self-esteem. We also discuss treatments available for when these behaviors become a concern.
