Understanding Trichotillomania

Do you constantly pull out your hair, eyebrows or eyelashes? Are you seeing bald patches? You may be suffering from trichotillomania. It is an impulse control disorder characterised by the compulsive urge to pull out hair; leading to distress, balding and hair loss. Individuals with this condition may not be aware that they are pulling out too much of their hair. And women are more likely to be affected than men. If you are experiencing this disorder, the first step to combat it is understanding the condition.



So, how and when does this condition start? Symptoms of compulsive hair-pulling can start around the ages of 12 and 13; even though it is not uncommon for it to start at a much younger age. Sometimes , a stressful event can be related with the onset of this condition, like a bereavement, school-related problems, abuse or family conflict. Symptoms can also be triggered by pubertal hormonal changes.




There is no certain cause of trichotillomania. But if you see an uneven appearance to your hair, bare patches - find yourself constantly tugging, pulling or twisting your hair, or if you feel a sense of satisfaction, pleasure and gratification after pulling your hair - these are indications that you have the disorder. Lucinda Ellery will help you to regain the confidence and the hair you have lost. You may check out Lucinda Ellery reviews for the women who got better.
