Extractions: It is a frustrating experience for sufferers as loved ones try to help but simply do not understand, they may see it as a phase in which they should get over in time, but it can get worse instead of better. The nagging feeling in the stomach will just get worse and worse until you fell the relief and gratification of pulling the hair. I am 15, and have been pulling for 6 years now. Starting with my eyelashes it then lead onto my scalp hair. The funny stares on the bus and around town and schools are enough to drive anyone mad! I know people have it worse than me though but then I know that a lot of people havent been able to stop even with professional help. It scares me really that I may have it for the rest of my life but I know I will try my hardest.

Extractions: People often start compulsive hair-pulling around the ages of 12-13; although it is not uncommon for it to start at a much younger or older age. Frequently, a stressful event can be associated with the onset, such as: change of schools, abuse, family conflict, or the death of a parent. The symptoms also may be triggered by pubertal hormonal changes. Does Trichotillomania Lead To Other Problems?

Drug-free Trichotillomania, Hair Pulling Treatment 5 Days
trichotillomania (hair pulling) is a learned, short-term stress coping behavior that can be quickly Category Health Mental Health Impulse Control trichotillomaniaNeither neurological disorder nor deficit, trichotillomania, hair pullingis a learned, shortterm stress reducing coping skill that backfires.
http://www.trichotillomania.org/

Extractions: Trichotillomania Explained Members Area Trichotillomania (TTM) is a stress reducing behavior. The relationship of hair pulling to stress is apparent in idioms in our language like "It is enough to make you pull your hair out." Hair pulling works to reduce stress because the behavior and sensations of pulling hair causes a short-term distraction from other emotional distress. This negatively reinforces Trichotillomania. paxil zoloft prozac luvox Negative Reinforcement hair pulling prozac luvox paxil zoloft The concept of negative reinforcement is commonly misunderstood and confused with idea of punishment. Let me discuss the concept of negative reinforcement. Simply, is is the pleasure/reinforcement we get when "it is so nice when it stops." An example might be laying in the sun on the beach. After while you become uncomfortably hot. To cool off you get up and run into the water. Running into the water behavior is reinforced by the cool water's termination of your uncomfortable "too hot" feeling. It is reinforcing to stop the too hot feeling. TTM works the same way. Patients may be uncomfortable from anxiety, worry, depression or the like. Pulling on their hair distracts their attention from the experience of this distress. Sure, this is only a short-term reprieve from the emotional pain, but that is really what counts in operant conditioning. Our nervous systems are wired so that short-term rewards are much more powerful than long-term ones.

Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Of Trichotillomania
Article by Frederick Penzel, Ph.D. examining cognitive therapy treatments.
http://www.homestead.com/westsuffolkpsych/trich_cbt.html

Extractions: The name trichotillomania (TTM) coined in 1889 by Francois Henri Hallopeau, is in itself an unfortunate and misleading one. It seems to pigeonhole the disorder with other unrelated problems such as kleptomania, pyromania, etc. In addition, it seems to imply an enjoyment and attraction on the part of sufferers to pursue their hair pulling activities. Those who have the disorder understand that this obviously is not true. The term 'mania' itself seems to suggest a serious mental illness. The gap between what the drugs can and cannot do can be bridged by behavioral therapy. Over the years, many assorted techniques for treating TTM have been tried, with little or no success. These would include psychoanalysis, biofeedback, relaxation training, aversion therapy, etc. I have heard a few isolated reports of the successful use of hypnosis, but only a few small studies are available on its effectiveness. Although more formal scientific studies of the use of behavioral therapy for TTM remain to be done, it appears that it is the most effective treatment that we possess. TTM is an extremely complex disorder with many potential inputs. It is my own hypothesis, and that of others, that TTM is the result of a dysfunction of a mechanism that regulates levels of stimulation within the central nervous system. People seem to pull when they are either overstimulated (stressed, anxious, or excited) or when understimulated (bored or inactive). Obviously, there are many things that can influence a person's stimulation levels. This is why there does not appear to be one single technique, approach, or device that can relieve the problem. TTM appears to respond best to an approach made of a number of different components.

Extractions: Info on trich Support Links Books ... Interesting info (articles etc) Helen's Trichotillomania pages (UK) A guide to the help available for hair pulling After six hard years of battling with the painful effects of Trichotillomania I discovered the wonders of the Internet and believe it is about time that the suffering in silence should come to an end for us all. I created this site because I believe there are many people out there with Trichotillomania, but even so it is surprising how little is understood about it. If you are a sufferer or a relative or a friend of a sufferer do not feel that you are alone. Many people have been helped just by knowing that they are not 'the only ones' with it. I was also particularly interested in creating a web site because I am British, living in North West England and finding nothing (apologies if I'm wrong) available on the Internet by Brits on this subject. This inspired me to produce some British web pages. It would be great if Trichsters living in the U.K. could contact each other and offer support. It can be a great help to contact others for encouragement. By reading on, you can learn how to get in touch with other 'Trichsters'.

http://www.centerforimage.com/trich.htm

Extractions: Trichotillomania Trichotillomania is a term coined by a French dermatologist in 1889 to describe the compulsive or irresistible urge he saw in patients to pluck out their hair. The word trichotillomania is derived from the Greek thrix, hair, tillein, to pull, and mania, madness or frenzy. This name is somewhat of a misnomer in that people with trichotillomania are not "mad", "psychotic" or "crazy" as the name suggests. In psychiatry, trichotillomania, is classified as an Impulse Control Disorder as are conditions such as compulsive gambling, kleptomania (compulsive stealing) and pyromania (compulsive fire setting). Impulse control disorders are characterized by the inability to control or resist the temptation (or impulse) to do something harmful to oneself or someone else. A sufferer sometimes experiences a sense of increasing tension before performing the behavior and can feel a sense of relief or release of tension afterwards. Sometimes people even express a degree of pleasure after having performed the act. Features of trichotillomania that fit the description of an impulse control disorder include the inability to resist urges to pull out one's hair, mounting tension before pulling and feeling of relief afterward.

They came up with a name for it back in the 1800's! But even today, the medical community at large is unaware of how many people actually have this, how to treat it, or of how damaging it can be. Not just to our scalps or our faces or our bodies, but to our spirit itself, and all that stems from it. Shame, Fear, Embarrassment These are inside enemies. But that's not all. Ridicule, Punishment, Anger, Laughter These are just a very few of the outside 'enemies' many have. And worse, it is often our own family members who do the most damage. Education, support, and public awareness have started to shine a light on a problem so many have suffered from in silence, in shame, and in darkness. Come join us. Let's talk!
