Trichotillomania is a form of OCD
(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) that involves a very strong urge to pull out
your hair by the root.
It also includes pulling of the scalp, facial hair, or
hair on other parts of the body. This is a very rare condition.
Statistics show that it affects
girls and boys. New research has shown 10% or higher of the population has
trichotillomania. It is normally developed during adolescence. It can start as
young as 1 year of age.
