The problem with your nails could be nutritional in nature. Also due to the history of eating soil which could have caused nutritional deficiencies. I would sincerely advise meeting psychiatrist for an evaluation to bring about the change in your eating habits. And along with the check up from a physician with a few blood test you will be advised the supplements that you should take to cover up the nutritional deficiencies. After you do this the growth of the nails will eventually improve how ever it will take time as nail take more than six months to grow from the route to the tip. Hope this was helpful. Take care.
Next Steps
Meet a physician and a psychiatrist.
