What is Trichotillomania?

Trichotillomania - also known as hair-pulling disorder - is a mental health condition where people experience a compulsive urge to pull out their hair, often from the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes. This behaviour can lead to visible patchy hair loss, emotional distress, and difficulty in social situations. Just as some people have a tendency to bite their fingernails or pick their skin when stressed, patients of trichotillomania end up pulling their own hair out.

Trichotillomania is classified as a body-focused repetitive behaviour (BFRB) and is often linked to anxiety, stress, or obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Trichotillomania is believed to be influenced by a combination of genetic, neurological, and psychological factors. If you are facing this problem, an early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help you manage the condition effectively.

Causes of Trichotillomania

This condition often starts in childhood or adolescence and can persist into adulthood. The most common causes and triggers include:

  • Emotional stress & anxiety
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Sensory gratification or habit formation

Homeopathy helps manage the underlying emotional and physiological factors that contribute to trichotillomania without harmful side effects.

Symptoms of Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania presents with both physical and emotional symptoms that can affect daily life. Common signs of the condition include:

  • Impulsive hair pulling from the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes.
  • Tension buildup before pulling hair or when resisting the urge to pull.
  • A sense of relief or pleasure after pulling hair.
  • Noticeable hair loss leading to thinning or bald patches on the scalp or other areas.
  • Biting, chewing, or eating pulled-out hair in some cases.

Early intervention and proper treatment can help manage these symptoms effectively.

Potential Complications of Trichotillomania

Even though it may not look like a serious condition, trichotillomania can have some seriously negative effects on your life. Some of the complications can be:

  • Emotional distress: Feelings of frustration, shame, and embarrassment due to hair loss and lack of control over hair-pulling urges.
  • Social and professional difficulties: People may avoid social interactions, school, or work opportunities due to visible hair loss.
  • Skin and hair damage: Repeated hair pulling can cause scalp scarring, infections, and permanent damage to your hair follicles, and even lead to long-term hair loss.
  • Hairballs (trichobezoars): Ingesting pulled-out hair can result in large, matted hairballs in the digestive tract, leading to weight loss, vomiting, intestinal blockages, or severe complications.

Can trichotillomania be damaging?

Are medicines alone enough to treat trichotillomania?

While homeopathic medicine is the mainstay of our treatment, counselling the patient as well as emotional support from family members are essential.
