Autophagia.

"Autophagia is desire to eat your own flesh."
Which is technically not a mental disorder or symptoms of mentally unhealthy. It falls under DSM's impulse-control disorders.This can range from as mild as eating dead skin to full on limbs.

Impulse-Control Disorders involve failing to resist an impulse, drive, or temptation to perform an act that is harmful to the person or to others. The majority of individuals affected by this disorder will often feel a sense of tension or arousal before committing the act, and then experience pleasure, gratification or relief at the time of committing the act. Once the act has been completed, the individual may or may not feel regret, self-reproach, or guilt.

A famous case of AUTOPHAGIA was happened in India, a old man of 66 years who mutilated his fingers of both hands.
Autophagia occurs when one is compelled to inflict pain upon oneself by biting and/or devouring portions of one's body.
