We all have a habit of doing
something during extreme psychological circumstances such as stress, anger,
anxiety, confusion, etc. While some bite nails and other move a certain body
part in a consistent manner. One of the rarest things that can happen in these
circumstances is hair pulling. The person can start pulling or eventually
plucking their hair from certain regions of the body such as eyebrows,
eyelashes, head, hands, legs, etc. This is more than just a normal reaction to
mental imbalance.
This can also be the tendency
that is caused due to a disorder named as trichotillomania.
This is a psychological disorder that causes a person to pluck his own hairs
when he is under certain situational pressure. It is also considered to be an
impulse control disorder as the person can no longer control their body
impulses due to which they can do such activities.
Thus, hair pulling
can be a very strong symptom of the above mentioned disease. While there are no
fixed treatment for this diseases, alter treatment have been definitely
suggested. This can be treated via medications or through psychological
intervention.
There can be no fixed time period
for the removal of the disorder trichotillomania. It may take months or in some
cases years to leave completely. Therefore, if you are finding these symptoms
within someone that is related to you then make sure you undertake a
psychological test to clarify the situation. If the tests are positive, you can
easily move ahead with the prescribed treatment.
