Is thumb sucking a disease?

Because a boy in the same class in junior high school also had this kind of behavior---sucking his thumb, so I really want to know what is going on?

The movie tells us that the uncontrollable thumb sucking of adolescent children may really be a non-serious mental illness, which involves a wide range of family, growth, interpersonal relationships, and education. . . Maybe there is a problem in which link, so you will keep sucking your thumb, especially when the pressure comes, it is also a way to solve it with drugs, but it cannot become a dependence. Finding your inner longing and the strength to fight for it may be the best cure for this disease.

The difference is that in foreign countries—more developed countries in the West, perhaps more attention will be paid to children’s growing problems. Schools will give appropriate suggestions and measures, and parents will also take into account their children’s feelings. I don't have time to take care of children's problems at work, but compared with China, it may be a little more to accompany and pay attention to children. My junior high school male classmate, in my memory, should have graduated from the first year of the junior high school to the third year of junior high school, and he has not changed his thumb-sucking habit (why do you want to change it? I also regard it as a problem?), His thumb has been severely deformed from being sucked for a long time, the bone in the middle protrudes, and the flesh next to it sinks. . . Don't ask me how I knew, because he was right in front of me, and because he was restless, he turned his body around for a long time and sucked his thumb. . .
