[|Human|] Hi, I have this really bad habit of chewing the sides of my cheek, gums, and roof of my mouth to the point where I break open skin in which it bleeds and is really painful. IS there any possible way to help with this habit? Ive heard its an anxiety or stress thing but I am also worried Ill end up with cancer of the mouth because my mouth hurts so bad, I cant eat or anything.
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor You are right. It is a sign of anxiety disorder. You may have OCD. In that case, you need some antidepressant like paroxetine or Escitalopram that would help to control anxiety symptoms. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would help you to keep calm in tense situation. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks
