HabitAware is spreading awareness for chronic hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting in a Keen bracelet feature from CBS' Innovation Nation!
Didn't get to watch the episode? That's okay! Check it out here:
It's amazing how common conditions like Trichotillomania, Dermatillomania, and Onychophagia truly are. Unfortunately, thousands of people live their lives under the assumption that these are just "bad habits" instead of understanding that they are mental health conditions that require management to improve. We are so thankful to Innovation Nation for giving us the opportunity to share Aneela's, and HabitAware's story, to a broader audience.
We've had so many people write in expressing that they learned of their condition through this episode. This is the importance of getting our voices out there and telling our stories, because we'll find out that there's an incredible amount of people who can relate, and who feel empowered through others bravery!
To anyone suffering with a body-focused repetitive behavior, you are not alone!
