It sounds like you have an compulsive disorder and the best thing for you to do is visit your doctor so they can tell you how to deal with your problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Constant chewing like that is an OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)!. I would most definitely consult your doctor and ask for a mental health evaluation as OCD and depression readily walk hand in hand!. As in depression can be the cause or a major contributing factor of OCD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
