It is very difficult to treat ocd and trichotillomania with just Psychotherapy. Combination of both is highly recommended. Medicines today are very safe and helps you recover faster. Medicines with behavioural therapy (HRT) will be the best option. For further management please reach out to us.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist.
