Hi I have a daughter who is 18 year old, she has a behavioural problem of pulling her hair especially when she is very anxious. Doctors term it as Trichotillomania.We have already started with counselling and now I am looking for a proper treatment for this condition. Kindly guide for the same.
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.
