Why do some people pull out their hair
Many people with trichotillomania experience an urge, or an itch to pull out their hair and they feel anxious or stressed until they do. Each person who pulls their hair out experiences it different ways; some people yank out clumps of hair, others pull one hair at a time, others feel and look for hair which is damage, and others eat and chew their hair.
In most cases hair pulling starts in puberty, the teenage years and it becomes a habit in adult life, or a way the person has learnt how to deal with stress or anxiety. The urge or itch of the scalp is difficult to ignore, a sense of tension building up before pulling hair out and once done feels a sense of relief and tension afterwards.
What is Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is the medical name given to hair pulling, it is a condition which involves pulling, snapping or twisting of hair from varies part of the body. Trichotillomania is often an automatic response on an unconscious level as people do not realise they are pulling out their hair until after they have done it.
In Linda's experience hair pulling and trichotillomania often starts in childhood after a specific event, trauma, stress, anxiety or depression.
In some cases the trichotillomania becomes severe. Pulling out hair can cause bold spots, and in extreme cases hair balls if the hair is swallowed as it can cause blockages in the body which can cause major health problems.
