How could a psychologist help trichotillomania?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many ways: Meeting with a psychologist can help you to understand what triggers the hair pulling and strategies to prevent the behavior from continuing. You should specifically look for a psychologist who specializes in working with individuals with anxiety disorders.
