Trichotillomania—sometimes called Hair-Pulling Disorder—is a condition where someone feels a strong, often uncontrollable urge to pull out their own hair. This can lead to noticeable hair loss and cause a lot of stress, embarrassment, or shame.
It’s classified as part of the Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders in the DSM-5 and falls under a group of conditions called Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs).
