Introduction

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, The Trichotillomania Treatment Guide - How To Finally Overcome Trichotillomania and Stop Hair Pulling For Life .

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to overcome trichotillomania. Covering topics including the disorders causes, diagnosis, treatments as well as the research which has been conducted, this book will provide you key information and tips for treating trichotillomania, especially in children.

The Mayo Clinic defines trichotillomania as the impulse to and the actual follow through with the act of pulling out ones hair from ones own head, eyebrows and other body parts in an excessive manner. Pulling out ones own hair can fall within the normal scope of behavior. After all, taking a set of tweezers to ones eyebrows is a part of many womens beauty routine and is not only perfectly normal, but is often encouraged by society. However, when plucking becomes excessive, this behavior leaves the range of what is considered normal. Such excessive behaviors can have negative impacts on a persons body, mind and social life, resulting in a reduced quality of life.

People with this affliction try to resist these urges to pluck out their own body hair but all too often meet with little success in these efforts. This disorder varies in its level of severity from mild to severe, with the milder forms being easier to manage and live with. However, the more severe the disorder, the harder it is for the afflicted person to manage it. Persons with this disorder can pull out so many hairs that they are left with bald patches. Sometimes afflicted individuals play with the pulled hair, caressing their face with it or even chewing or eating the pulled hair. Some people have even been known to pull hair from animals and inanimate objects such as dolls or clothes.

There are a wide variety of factors that contribute to or cause this behavior including boredom, stress, and hormones. For example, brushing ones hair has been found to prompt some people to engage in this behavior. Another example is that women who are menstruating can experience an increase in these behaviors.

This book will provide an in-depth explanation of trichotillomania, exploring its causes, how it can be properly diagnosed, summarizing much of the research which has been done on this disorder, and what treatments are available. Accordingly, this book will help you to gain a better understanding of trichotillomania and how to address this disorder, leading to an improved quality of life.

Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: The spectrum of trichotillomania

According to the Mayo Clinic, trichotillomania is the desire to pull out ones hair from ones own body and actually acting on the impulse in a repetitive and excessive manner. Many will also pick at or chew other body parts such as their nails, skin or lips.

Causes of trichotillomania

The exact cause of this disorder is not known at this time, however many factors which contribute to it have been identified. Emotions such as anger, anxiety, boredom and stress are associated with hair pulling. People with trichotillomania also sometimes experience muscular tension and report not feeling right. They may also indicate that pulling the hair replaces this uncomfortable feeling with a more comfortable feeling. Others report feeling pleasure from pulling out their hair.

Types of Hair Pulling: Automatic vs Focused

This disorder is split into the following two categories: focused and automatic. Each category has its own distinct features and a person with trichotillomania can practice both brands. The following is a description of both categories.

Focused

Focused trichotillomania occurs when a person purposely and intentionally pulls their hair out. This individual is aware of what they are doing and may even develop a ritual related to this behavior. Stress can serve as a trigger with pulling hair being a coping mechanism, assisting the person in dealing with the stressful situation.

Automatic

This brand of the disorder occurs when a person pulls out the hair without being conscientiously aware of what they are doing. Thus, a person may be feeling bored or engaged in an activity such as watching a movie and may start to pluck out hairs without being aware of what they are doing.

Trichotillomania in children

Trichotillomania often has its onset in the pre-teen and early teenage years, but it can also occur earlier in life. For instance, hair pulling has been noted in children as young as 9 months old. Due to these key facts about the disorders occurrence in children, Chapter 2 specifically discusses this disorder as it occurs in children.

Trichotillomania in adults

According to Psychiatric Times, up to 3.4% of adults have trichotillomania. This is hard to determine for sure, however, as it is suspected that this disorder is under-reported and under-diagnosed.

Chapter 2: Trichotillomania in Children

Trichotillomania is occurs 7 times more often in children than in adults with it most likely occurring between the ages of 4 and 17. Accordingly, it is important to pay special attention to the factors which contribute to this disorder in children.

Heredity

There appears to possibly be a genetic component to hair pulling. According to the Child Mind Institute, children with close kin (i.e. first-degree) who have obsessive-compulsive disorder or those children who have the disorder themselves are more likely to develop trichotillomania.
