Hello and welcome to Lybrate. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Trichotillomania (ttm), also known as hair pulling disorder or compulsive hair pulling, is a mental disorder characterized by a long-term urge that results in the pulling out of one's hair.
I suggest telephonic counseling and online psychotherapy for you.
You can contact me for further advice and treatment options. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Hi Lybrate user,
ye indicate karta h apka stress level thoda jyada h, relaxation exercises aur yoga kijiye. Ye behaviour ko dusre kisi behaviour me convert kar dijiye thoda easy hoga apko, initial period me. Jab bhi baal nochne ka maan kare ek sponge ball rakhie usko press kijiye, ya phir chewing gum chabaiye.
Take healthy food, sleep for atleast 8 hours, take minimum 3 litres of water. Don't worry. Give me a feedback. Thanks.

Treatment options include counselling and medication, such as antidepressants. Several studies have examined ssris in treating trichotillomania and skin picking. The ssris include fluoxetine (prozac), fluvoxamine (luvox), sertraline (zoloft), citalopram (celexa), escitalopram (lexapro), and paroxetine (paxil).

Dear user. I can understand. You are you. Whatever your behavior today, whatever your body language today are learned from your past experiences and social interactions. Whatever you have learned can be unlearned or over written. This is a continuous process happening throughout your life. In your present case I need to evaluate your behavior thoroughly before providing an answer. I suggest cognitive behavior therapy for you. Take care.
