What is Trichotillomania?

Trichotillomania, often called “trich” is a mental health condition and a type of body-focused repetitive behaviour (BFRB). It causes strong urges to pull out hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard or other areas of the body. Many people describe pulling as automatic or difficult to control, especially during times of stress, boredom, sensory overload, or intense emotions. Trichotillomania affects approximately 1–2% of people, meaning in a group of 100 individuals only one or two may be living with the condition. Research also suggests that around 80–90% of those diagnosed are female, although the condition can affect people of any gender.

 

When you pull your hair, your brain releases dopamine which is a chemical linked to relief, this is the same brain chemical involved in addictions like smoking. The exact cause of trich is unknown - It is thought to result from a combination of genetic factors, environmental stressors, and chemical imbalances. Trich can significantly affect self-esteem, confidence, relationships, and daily life. People may hide bald patches, wear extra makeup, avoid social situations, or feel ashamed to talk about what they’re going through.
