Repetitive behaviors are now considered a subset of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
As I have gone over in the past, the pathology of OCD overlaps with many other psychiatric disorders.
Issues like trichotillomania or hair pulling, onychotillomania or nail biting, excoriation or skin biting, scratching, or otherwise stimming, are all rooted in hyper NMDA/calcium-glutamate engagement and poor redox status or glutathione function.
Too much oxidative stress and inflammation irritates the nervous system and the mind, these pain related behaviors reward the brain with endorphins and it becomes a borderline addiction.
The combination of magnesium glycinate, l-theanine, and inositol are highly effective in this context, but N-acetylcysteine and Zinc glycinate can also prove useful.
Don’t forget vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, biotin, folate, B12, boron, lithium, and K2 MK4/7. Diet must be omnivorous whole food source based. Low carb/ketogenic diets additionally beneficial. Black seed oil, daily sunlight exposure, reduce blue light exposure to the greatest extent.
Remove all drugs, stimulants, and inflammatory food groups.
No more repetitive behaviors.

Aside from hyper NMDA-calcium-activation and GABA downregulation, trauma and stored emotions coincide with diseases related to that organ due to what is called a calcium shell, or calcification.
Cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, cancers, etc. are the prevalent diseases associated.
Individuals are unable to process and move past memories and emotions when they are magnesium deficient, and deficient in related cofactors in proper calcium metabolism.
Topical Magnesium chloride dissolves calcifications where applied, and with them, those stored memories and emotions can be released and experienced again.

When cellular repair processes are restarted pharmacologically with nutritional supplements and herbal medicines, your nutrient demand for the necessary building blocks in these processes will often increase in correlation.
This is why the need for tight genetic regulation is so crucial in biological regeneration.
So these cellular repair processes are not pushed beyond individual physiological threshold, inducing rebound malnutrition or what is called nutritional insufficiency.
I don’t think it would hurt at all, and @NiacinIsHealth has been posting some fantastic and hopeful info on Niacin specifically. Riboflavin would be another good addition. I’ll have to map out everything I’ve shared in consultations regarding a full recovery protocol.
When illness occurs, your body’s processes ramp up as the body fights to protect and repair itself. This increases your nutritional demand across the board.
Now, the human body always attempts to seek homeostasis day in and day out. So it will adapt to this malnourished state if repletion doesn’t occur longterm, just so it’s able to survive and function.
