What is the Trichotillomania Support Network of Greater D.C. (TSN) ... How Do I Join TSN? Trichotillomania is a seriously under diagnosed condition affecting up to 3.4% of the U.S. population. Typically striking in early adolescence, trichotillomania is a disorder characterized by the inability to control or resist the compulsive urge to pull one's hair from the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or other body locations. Its effects can range from mild hair loss to permanent baldness and scarring. The suffering is not purely physical, however. Chronic hair pulling can have a severe negative impact on a sufferer's self-esteem, personal and occupational achievements and relationships. The shame-induced, secretive nature of hair pulling has been partly responsible for its under appreciation in the medical community. Although roughly 90% of those seeking treatment for hair pulling are female, it is not clear whether this is because trichotillomania strikes females more often or because men do not seek treatment as often.

    Extractions: Trichotillomania: What is it? How do you treat it? Joan Davidson, Ph.D. Trichotillomania is described in the fourth edition of the DSM-IV as "characterized by recurrent pulling out of one’s hair for pleasure, gratification, or relief of tension that results in noticeable hair loss." It is classified as an impulse control disorder and is estimated to affect between 5 and 10 million Americans. Trichotillomania can affect any part of the body, but the most common areas are the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. Hair pulling is described as soothing and pleasurable, and the pulling can become ritualized. Often, persons with trichotillomania may try to find the "right" hair to pull or they may examine the hair root, twirl it, pull the hair between their teeth or eat it. As trichotillomania sufferers try to resist the urge to pull they become tense. When they pull the hair, they experience a sense of relief or pleasure. The hair pulling can vary from mild hair loss to complete baldness. The causes of trichotillomania are unclear. Trichotillomania has been conceptualized as a habit-control disorder, which led to a behavioral treatment approach called Habit Reversal Training. Because of similarities between trichotillomania and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in symptoms and in responses to treatment, trichotillomania has been described as a variation of OCD. Despite some similarities, recent data demonstrate important differences between these disorders. It appears that many factors, including abnormalities of brain neurochemistry, are involved in the development of trichotillomania.

    Extractions: Barry can feel the tension building, sometimes for hours, before he yields to his impulse. Although he knows he's affecting his dark good looks, the anxious feeling doesn't fade until he's yanked out another fistful of his own curly black hair. He immediately vows he'll never do it again, but will readily admit he probably won't be able to keep that promise. For Belinda, the tension reliever is pulling out her now-stubby eyelashes. One at a time, slowly, ritualistically she removes the remaining hairs that line her upper and lower lids. She began removing them this way as a child, although she can't recall exactly why or when. Despite numerous medical exams first by her pediatrician and later by her internist and a dermatologist no physical problems have been found. Her upper and lower eyelids are the only sign of this persistent habit. They have scarcely any hairs at all. Louisa also tugs at her hair, pulling out a single strand at a time, dozens of times each day. Then she places the strands she's removed from her scalp into her mouth. She's seldom seen without a scarf that covers the bald spots this practice has created, but she denies that the patchy appearance of her hair is the result of her own behavior.

To learn more about "The OCD Workbook" and order a copy, click here Trichotillomania (TTM) is characterized by chronic, repetitive pulling of bodily hair. The sites of hair pulling include the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, axillary, body, and pubic area. Hair pulling tends to occur in episodes, exacerbated by stress, or sometimes by relaxation (when reading a book or watching television, for example). All other causes of hair loss, including medical and dermatological problems, must be considered and ruled out before the diagnosis of trichotillomania is confirmed. People with TTM experience an increasing sense of tension immediately before pulling out a hair or when attempting to resist hair-pulling. When the hair is pulled, they experience immediate feelings of pleasure, gratification, and relief. Once thought to be rare with a prevalence of only .05 percent to .6 percent, recent studies estimate a prevalence of 2 percent to 3 percent of the population (Keuthen, 1998). As with OCD, people with TTM are often highly secretive about their symptoms. They may hide their symptoms by pulling hair from areas not easily visible or wear wigs or hair styles that conceal the areas where their hair is pulled.

    Extractions: Trichotillomania or the pulling out of hair mainly from the head, but can be from the eyelashes, eyebrows, arms, legs or pubis. This compulsion can begin at any age, more commonly between 9 - 15 years old. More females have this problem, or perhaps males can hide their baldness easier. Females will cover themselves up with hats, use false eyelashes and wigs, disguising themselves for fear of being discovered. It can be caused by emotional or traumatic events during their childhood days. The condition which can be frantic at times is usually worse in the evenings or when bored, and during the menstrual cycle. This creates other problems, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety due to their helplessness of not being in control. They often experience tension prior to pulling out a hair, and then relief or pleasure afterwards. Often a particular hair is selected, coarser, thicker or wavy one, or a particular hair that does not feel ‘normal’ or is ‘alien’. Some will place the follicle of the hair in their mouth and bite on it experiencing a pleasurable feeling, others may brush the hair around the outside or inside their mouth. Using psycho-analysis within hypnosis and finding the originating causes of the problem are imperative. Then utilising clinical hypnosis with cognitive behavioural therapy and interpersonal therapy, provides that person with better coping skills and coping mechanisms for the future. It is the combination of these two different therapies that work very well, producing a very positive outcome, and more importantly continues into the future.

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Q: Pulling out hair... Last year my daughter started pulling out her widows peak of hair on her forehead - I thought it was a habit during the stress of her A-levels. But she returned from University at Easter with a definite receding hairline from her habit. It's making her very unhappy but she can't seem to stop. Why is she pulling out her hair like this? Your daughter has a condition known as trichotillomania , which is defined by some people as an 'impulse-control' disorder, and by others as a type of obsessive compulsive disorder. But although it is defined as a psychological problem, this doesn't mean that your daughter is 'mad.' Research has shown that, apart from their habit, people with trichotillomania have a healthy psyche. However, it may be associated with depression, anxiety and other problems. Trichotillomania is quite common - at least 2% of the population are affected - and usually starts around puberty or early adulthood. The sufferer usually pulls out hair from their scalp or face (eye lashes or brows) because this is easily accessible, but sometimes they pull out body hair too.
