    A Psychological Cause of Hair Loss

    For years, I had been pulling out my hair and playing with them. I used to do this when certain situations require it, like when I’m bored, or while watching movies or reading. I have no exact idea of how and why it started. My reason is that it does feel good, and it seems that my day is not complete without me being able to pull a particular strand of my hair, that which has a white pigment on the tip, or that which is coarse.

    That was few years ago, and it was until someone told me that pulling one’s hair compulsively is a disorder that I started wrestling with this baffling urge. I tried various ways just to stop it. I even used to tie my wrists or place them on my pockets, but without me noticing, my hands find their technique back to my head.

    Well, I am not alone. This disorder is so widespread that millions of people around the world are suffering from it. But, although widespread and common, constant hair pulling is not a matter to be ignored. Obviously, it's a potent cause of hair loss and it may even lead someone to obtain bald if not controlled. And, much to your surprise, there’s a name for that compulsive action – trichotillomania.
