Hair pulling, known as trichotillomania, is a psychological condition characterized by the compulsive urge to pull out one’s own hair. This behavior can affect hair on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other areas. It often serves as a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, or boredom, leading to noticeable hair loss and emotional distress. Individuals with trichotillomania may experience feelings of tension before pulling hair and relief afterward. Treatment options include therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and support groups, which can help individuals manage their urges and develop healthier coping strategies.
