Trichotillomania: Trichotillomania is the compulsive urge to pull out (and in some cases, eat) one's own hair leading to noticeable hair loss, distress, and social or functional impairment. It is classified as an impulse control disorder by dsm-iv and is often chronic and difficult to treat. It is often associated with other psychiatric disorders. Please see a psychiatrist for evaluation.
