Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the relationship between body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) disorders, like trichotillomania and skin picking, and anxiety disorders, finding that comorbidity is common, with notable prevalence rates for various anxiety disorders.
- - A meta-analysis of 119 studies revealed that current and lifetime prevalence rates for anxiety disorders among individuals with BFRBs are significant, such as 19.2% for generalized anxiety disorder and 27.5% for any anxiety disorder.
- - Although comorbid anxiety is frequent in BFRB cases, the correlation between anxiety severity and BFRB severity is only low to moderate, indicating a complex relationship that warrants further research and consideration in clinical practice. *
