Trichotillomania (pronounced /ˌtrɪkəˌtɪləˈmeɪniə/ trik–ə–til–ə–may-nee–ə, also known as trichotillosis) is the compulsive urge to pull out one’s own hair leading to noticeable hair loss, distress, and social or functional impairment. It is classified as an impulsive control disorder and is often chronic and difficult to treat..
