Many people suffer from hair thinning and hair loss. However, there are instances when hair loss is not because of environmental issues or aging. Sometimes, hair loss is caused by people to pulling their own hair out. Some people who suffer from anxiety may feel an urge to pull their hair out or pick at their skin. When it becomes overwhelming, this may be diagnosed as trichotillomania. Of course, you should talk to your doctor and find out if you have this condition.
Now that we have the disclaimer out of the way, what is trichotillomania exactly? It is a condition that causes people to have an overwhelming urge to pull out their own hair. Some people may pull out their hair while others may also pull out their eyelashes and hair from other areas of their body. When they keep doing this, it can lead to significant hair loss and hair thinning. Some research suggests that women are more prone to this condition, especially during certain hormonal changes.
If you think you may be suffering from trichotillomania or are experiencing hair loss, hair thinning, extreme stress or anxiety, you should talk to a doctor and/or a therapist. They can help you to lessen the effects of your anxiety which will help stop you from pulling out your hair. Some people may not even realize they are pulling out their hair until they start to see significant hair loss. Many times this condition can be treated by learning new ways to cope with stress and anxiety.
