There are millions of people that need help with trichotillomania. Trichotillomania affects more women than men, and that may simply be because women are more likely to search for help. If you think about it, hair is so much more important to women than men because in our culture (and others) hair is associated with beauty.
Trichotillomania ranges from mild to severe. Most trichotillomaniacs pull hair from their heads, but some pull from other areas of the body, including eyelashes and eyebrows.
This disorder is treated with behavioral therapy and sometimes anti-depressant drugs. Relapse is extremely common and people with this condition must learn to manage with coping skills.
