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. People with trichotillomania often feel a sense of tension before pulling hair and relief or gratification afterward. The condition is classified as a type of body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) and can lead to noticeable hair loss and distress. Treatment options may include therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and support groups to help individuals manage their urges and develop healthier coping strategies.
