Trichotillomania Hair Pulling Disorder
Trichotillomania (trick-o-til-o-MAY-nee-ah) is a disorder that causes people to pull out the hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows resulting in noticeable bald patches. Hair pulling varies greatly in its severity and response to treatment. For some people at some times trichotillomania is mild and can be quelled with a bit of extra awareness and concentration. For others at times the urge may be so strong that it makes thinking of anything else nearly impossible.
Trichotillomania (also referred to as TTM or "Trich") is currently defined as an impulse control disorder but there are still questions about how it should be classified. It may seem to resemble a habit, an addiction, a tic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Most recently it is being conceptualized as part of a family of "body-focused repetitive behaviors" (BFRBs) along with skin picking and nail biting. Read more here.
