Trichotillomania, also known as hair-pulling disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to pull out one’s hair. This can occur from any area of the body where hair grows, such as the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other parts of the body. People with trichotillomania often try to stop but find it difficult or impossible to do so.

Signs & Symptoms of Trichotillomania:
- Recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out hair, despite attempts to stop.
- Noticeable hair loss or bald patches on the scalp or other areas of the body.
- Increasing tension or anxiety before pulling hair, followed by relief or pleasure afterward.
- Distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning due to hair-pulling behavior.
