Trichotillomania

July 12, 2018 By Advanced Hair Studio

Trichotillomania Contrary to popular belief, not all hair-loss issues are genetic. In fact, hair loss can be explained by a wide variety of factors – including genetic reasons, hormonal levels and even psychological problems and stressors.

Trichotillomania is one such psychological disorder.

What Is Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder, which involves sustained hair pulling as reaction to stress. It is generally believed to be a coping mechanism for stress and negative emotions. Although sufferers of Trichotillomania are susceptible to hair pulling on any part of their bodies, the most commonly pulled area is the scalp.

Hair pulling episodes can range in length from seconds long to hours at-a-time, and can result in wildly varying hair-lengths in sufferers.

So, what can cause Trichotillomania?

It’s unclear what exactly causes Trichotillomania, although several factors are accepted to increase the risk of onset. These include:

  • Age
  • Stress
  • Family history
  • Having other related disorders; such as depression or anorexia nervosa

Over sustained periods, this hair-pulling can lead to surprising and dramatic hair loss.

How Trichotillomania Affects People

The uncertain causes of Trichotillomania understandably lead to a host of negative feelings. In cases where Trichotillomania is brought on as a result of stress, this can lead to a dangerously self-perpetuating cycle.

Sufferers of Trichotillomania frequently feel misunderstood and vulnerable, and the consequences of the disorder can be wide-ranging.

People can feel:

  • Afraid to go out in public out of concern and shame over appearance
  • A lack of confidence in one’s career and having productivity and professionalism affected by hair-pulling
  • A concern for developing personal relationships due to a fear of judgement and shame
