Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is a mental health 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 of the body. It often leads to noticeable hair loss and can cause significant distress or impairment in daily functioning.
People with trichotillomania may engage in this behavior as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or boredom. Treatment options include therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and support groups, which can help individuals manage their urges and develop healthier coping strategies.
