Trichotillomania is a type of obsessive compulsive disorder. This condition may need medications too along with your counselling. Chat with me on practo for further information regarding this.

The team of doctors treating your child can guide you better on this. Seems you are following the proper treatment procedure only. Medication+ psychotherapy/counselling works best for such disorders. But counselling at a regular basis is a must.
