Image label

The photo labelled "dermatillomania" looks just like my hands, but I suffer from dermatophagia (I chew my fingers and have callouses all over my knuckles, exactly like that photograph). I am wondering if it may be incorrectly labelled. Can anyone verify that the person whose hand is pictured actually picks at the skin on their knuckles, rather than bites or chews their knuckles? Admittedly, I do sometimes pick at the callouses on my hands, but they are (as far as I can tell) 95% the result of biting or chewing.

Also, I have seen dermatophagia and related disorders described as obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, even though they are not part of the classic obsessive-compulsive disorder (in the narrow sense). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.199.51 (talk) 13:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Citation Broken

The link for citation note 1 (scientific advances in trichotillomania and related body-focused-repetitive-behaviors, November 4th, 2004, National Institute of Mental Health) directs to a blank page. No results are to be found on the NIMH website. Does anyone have a cached version of the original article to cite?
