Trichotillomania Treatment by New York Psychiatrist

Trichotillomania is the compulsive pulling of hair. One attractive young woman with appropriate hair styling came and showed that a half-dollar sized bald spot was present at the crown of her scalp, carefully covered by well-placed hair. She could not stop from pulling each strand out by the roots. We have found that this condition is treatable either by hypnotherapy, sometimes medication, and occasionally biofeedback to give proper body control. Our patients have been most grateful to be rid of this debilitating and disfiguring condition.
