Hair pulling: Trichotillomania is classified as impulse control disorder. It may be triggered by depression or stress, is chronic & difficult to treat. Behavior modification is used for tx, thru habit reversal training. Also biofeedback & hypnosis have been tried. Some medications such as Anafranil (clomipramine) & acetylcysteine have been used with mixed results.
