Compulsive Hair Pulling - Treating Trichotillomania

Lewis Waller
Compulsive hair pulling could possibly be an indication of trichotillomania, which is basically a psychologically based response to stress that is emotionally triggered by negative stimulus such as fear, anger, anxiety or stress in general. You´ll need to have a proper diagnosis performed in order to make sure of any particular case of compulsive hair pulling possibly being a result of the presence of trichotillomania, particularly when such behavior is evident in young children. Compulsive hair pulling in children may simply be nothing more than a passing phase, much in the same way that the phase of thumb sucking can be present for a time in many toddlers.

It is of considerable note that although compulsive hair pulling is generally treated with the same powerful "behavioral enhancement" drugs that are given to patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), the actual truth is that "trich" is not caused by a cerebral chemical imbalance at all. Far from it, it´s actually an emotionally triggered psychological response to stressful and emotional stimulus, and no amount of medicating the symptoms away will do anything to eliminate this condition from the sufferer´s life. The actual truth of the matter is that this becomes a type of slavery, as any "effects" will only last as long as these harmful drugs are taken continually – once off the medication, the condition still proves to be prevalent.


Therefore, compulsive hair pulling in essence can only be effectively treated with behavioral training techniques that are non-intrusive and have no harmful side effects such as the neuroleptic drugs (antipsychotics), those with serotonergic properties such as given to OCD patients and powerful antidepressants so often do. As a matter of fact, the methods and techniques known as the behavioral substitution type have been reported to have profound effects in completely eradicating compulsive hair pulling with life-long results. Those who employ these techniques can live a happy, normal life without any dependency on powerful and harmful medications.

A ground breaking new technique is now guaranteed to treat your Trichotillomania in less than 10 minutes!
