and Related Behaviors
Trichotillomania is classified as an impulse control disorder whereby the person has compulsive urges to pull out their own hair.
Dermatillomania is an impulse control disorder characterised by the repeated urge to pick at one’s own skin, often to the extent that damage is caused.

If I have missed any important sites from this list - please let me know and I’ll add them - thankyou! :).
I’m not really in touch with the trich community (mostly ‘cause I really don’t want to think about or remember it), but it’s Awareness Week! If each and every one of my followers could just check out one of these links, I would appreciate it a lot. You might learn something, or realize you know someone with this disorder. You might even realize that you do this too. I hadn’t heard of it when my counselor noticed me pulling.
Yeah, just, if you could take a little time out of your day to better understand the people living with trich or dermatillomania, that would be awesome. I love you guys! :)
