Do you find yourself pulling out your hair?
Is this something you do subconsciously?
Is there something bothering you and by pulling out your hair alleviates the possible problem?
or are you not sure why you do it?
These are questions that many people with this disorder go through and are often asked by loved ones as to the reason for why it is happening
It is more common then people realise and the disorder is called Trichotillomania. It can also be known as trich or TTM.
This disorder is triggered by certain events like stress, negative thoughts, anxiety, boredom or even frustration and the symptoms can include pulling out the hair on the head or in other places, such as eyebrows or eyelashes. This can be very distressing and medical advice should be obtained to help to control or understand the root of the problem.
Therapy can help people overcome trichotillomania. The most widely used type of therapy is called habit-reversal training (HRT). It’s a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In this therapy, people meet with a therapist to learn skills to help them reverse the hair pulling habit.
However many people who suffer with this disorder often dip in and out of the condition and some will simply grow out of the disorder depending on the reasons it started.
The positive aspect of this disorder is that generally the hair which is pulled out often grows back absolutely normally however the one possible side effect if the same hair is constantly pulled out could lead to scar tissue in that area which may stop the hair regrowing completely.
