There are many different types of hair loss; here we will touch base on one.

Trichotillomania.

It is the act of pulling out one’s own hair, as a result, causing hair loss. A serious and debilitating impulse control disorder; it is almost always a response to stress, anxiety or even boredom. Affecting 2% of the population, it seems to be more common in women. Hair pulling can occur on the scalp or anywhere on the body. It seems like permanent hair loss can affect areas if the pulling has gone on for long enough. Furthermore, hair loss of any kind affects one’s self esteem and identity. In addition, the psychological reasons for TTM should be discussed with a professional Cognitive Behavioral Specialist. Hair replacement specialists can help with the physical effects of hair loss.
