Trichotillomania is defined as recurrent pulling of ones own hair, leading to marked hair loss and functional impairment.

This disease involves irresistible and recurrent urges to pull out hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes or other areas of the body.

Hair pulling from the scalp often causes patchy bald spots, which causes significant distress to the patient, and can interfere with work and social activities.

Different treatment options can help patients reduce their hair pulling or stop entirely.

The book Trichotillomania: Clinical Characteristics, Psychological Interventions and Emotional Effects, edited by the physicians specialised in psychodermatologist Katlein Franca and Mohammad Jafferany, presents a comprehensive overview of this important and neglected disease.
