Repetitive Skin Focused Disorders May Express a Functional Connectome.

Repetitive skin focused behaviors, such as nail biting, hair pulling, cutting, and others may involve brain regions that participate in visual and tactile awareness, contextual learning and anxiety. Advances in neuroscience are occurring alongside wildly expanding clinical needs in depression and suicide, delirium and dementia.

Individuals contemplating suicide or harm to others are interfacing with health care systems that are either not recognizing those at risk or are not putting the riskiest patients in front of the clinicians with the greatest diagnostic acumen. Clinicians rely on what the patient says, how they say it, and often include performance and cognitive measures to assign a diagnosis.

Women approach medical care differently, being open to taking prescriptions while also showing interest in natural approaches that include supplements and self-directed care. The development of fully characterized phenotypes around repetitive skin focused disorders may trigger clinical decision support in three key areas; mental health issues that emerge at puberty, adults at risk for polypharmacy and individuals with suicidal ideation.

There may be aspects of the physical exam that would provide additional information to the provider on the emotional regulation of the patient, no matter the reason for a visit. The enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol to bile provides key metabolic functions, such as drug metabolism, the absorption of dietary lipids and protection of the endocrine system. Drug metabolism uses the same pathway as cholesterol catabolism.

In a study of 571 suicides, 41% had sought health care within 4-weeks of their death,
although far fewer disclosed their intent during the visit.  Often those closest to them have no idea of their plans.
