4. Virtual Hospital: Trichotillomania Peer reviewed article by Gary R. Gaffney, MD describing diagnostic features andpharmaceutical treatment methods. http://www.vh.org/adult/patient/psychiatry/trichotillomania/

Trichotillomania Gary R. Gaffney, M.D., Associate Professor University of Iowa College of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed First Published: 1995 Last Revised: January 2005 Diagnostic Features Trichotillomania is stereotyped recurrent pulling of hair. The sites of hair pulling include scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, axillary, body, or pubic. Hair pulling tends to occur in episodes, exacerbated by stress, or conversely sometimes worsened by relaxation (e.g., when reading a book or watching television). The person generally feels tension before pulling hair, which is relieved by the pulling. All other causes of hair loss, including medical and dermatological must be considered and ruled out before the diagnosis of trichotillomania is confirmed. Associated Features and Disorders Associated features of trichotillomania include: examining the hair root; twirling it off; pulling the strand between the teeth, or trichophagia (eating hairs). Nail biting, scratching, gnawing, and excoriation may be associated with trichotillomania. Persons with trichotillomania may also have mood disorders (depression), anxiety disorders, or developmental disorders. There can be histological findings. Biopsy samples may reveal short and broken hairs. Histological examination will reveal normal and damaged follicles. There should be inflammation in the affected area.

Books Treatment Providers What Helps Others BrendaC's Board ... Links What is Trichotillomania? The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) (American Psychiatric Association, Washington, DC, 1994) defines Trichotillomania as: Recurrent pulling out of one's hair resulting in noticeable hair loss. Increasing sense of tension immediately before pulling out the hair. Pleasure, gratification, or relief when pulling out the hair. Not better accounted for by another mental disorder and not due to a general medical condition (e.g., a dermatological disorder). Results in substantial distress and/or interferes with functioning. Not all patients who pull out their hair meet these strict criteria. In fact, many do not experience a growing sense of tension before pulling. Nonetheless, they frequently have a distressing problem that might very well benefit from treatment. View Guestbook Sign Guestbook New Book for Parents with children that pull.

17. What Is Trichotillomania? Lots of teens don t think about losing their hair because it seems like somethingonly adults need to worry about. http://kidshealth.org/teen/question/illness_infection/trichotillomania.html

KidsHealth Teens Lots of teens don't think about losing their hair because it seems like something only adults need to worry about. However, if you're a teen with trichotillomania, hair loss can be a serious reality. Understanding Trichotillomania Trichotillomania (pronounced: trick-oh-till-oh- may -nee-ah) is a type of psychological disorder known as an impulse control disorder. Impulse control disorders are characterized by an uncontrollable urge, or impulse, to do something that can bring harm to oneself or others. People with trichotillomania repetitively pull their hair out at the root from places like the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes, sometimes causing baldness. Research suggests that trichotillomania affects between 1% and 2% of the population. Girls are more likely to have trichotillomania than guys. Kids and teens are also more likely to have it than adults. Symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often go along with trichotillomania. People with OCD often have unwanted (and mostly untrue) thoughts that repeat themselves over and over and seem impossible to control. Having the unwanted thought creates a feeling of worry that is only relieved when that thought is followed by a certain behavior. For example, a person may keep having the thought that she has too many germs or is super-dirty in some way, and she may feel the urge to wash her hands over and over again. Only then can she relieve (for a short while) the uncomfortable feeling of being dirty. Because people with trichotillomania often report uncomfortable feelings that are relieved for a while when hair is pulled out, some doctors consider trichotillomania a form of OCD.
