Description

Since her early teens, Cara Ward has suffered from trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) and dermatillomania (skin picking), two forms of mental illness that are still often hidden away in shame.

Feeling embarrassed and confused by her own behaviour, Cara kept quiet about it for years.

But in June 2013, she was left housebound by a condition called Red Skin Syndrome.

The only way to get better was a harrowing and difficult withdrawal from all topical steroids.

Despite her anxiety and doubt about whether she was doing the right thing, she kept going and made a full recovery.

As a result, she knew that she could "beat her own mind" and overcome anything else she put her mind to. And so, over a period of just seven weeks, Cara documented her struggles to gain better control of the disorders that had left her scarred and ashamed for years.

Through sheer determination and willpower, Cara found a way to get to the best place she'd ever been with her trichotillomania.

Every Trich in the Book details Cara's triumph over trich and derma, using humour and honesty along the way.
