Trichotillomania is a mental disorder that involves recurrent habit of to pulling out hair from the scalp, eyebrows or other areas of the body. The condition is known as compulsive pulling or repetitive pulling of hair by a patient himself/herself. The trigger factor could be stress or anxiety. The name is derived from the Greek terms for hair (trich), pulling (tillo), and morbid impulse (mania). Trichotillomania occurs more frequently in young women and is commonly associated with considerable distress. Hair is most commonly pulled from the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, beard, and pubic area, though hair from any part of the body may be pulled. Hair pulling may be transient, episodic or continuous and its intensity can fluctuate. Weeks and months may pass with a person being nearly or completely free of hair pulling, only to have a sudden and unexplained recurrence. Like any condition, there is a range of severity. For some, hair loss may be minimal, for others, cosmetic damage may be extensive, even to the point of total baldness.
