Dealing with the Problem
Dealing with trichotillomania may be hard as it involves changing someone’s behavior. However, treating this disorder is not worth surrendering, but is more challenging. So if you happen to be one of the tricho victims or you have a friend who is affected by this condition, then I bet you will be happy to know that currently there are about two possible methods of treating trichotillomania. The first is via behavioral therapy and the other is via medication. Behavioral Therapy When behavioral therapy is considered, the person affected by hair pulling disorder will learn a procedure of how he or she can keep track of the symptoms and the related behaviors caused by trichotillomania. This treatment is worth considering as this helps the person to become concious of his or her hair pulling act. Aside from that, certain processes of reversing the disorder and habit would be learned from the behavioral therapy trainings. The possible trainings that the person may consider come in three dissimilar stages: 1.Competing Response Training – This is the behavioral therapy training which aims to teach the victim of trichotillomania the positive response he or she can apply to prevent the urge of pulling. A possible process here could be that clenching of your fist and putting it under the sides of your body whenever a situation calls for hair pulling. 2.Self-Monitoring Techniques – In this stage, the victim would be asked to keep a everyday record of his or her actions to make him or her concious of the rate, frequency and intensity of the behavior. 3.Display of Improvement – Involved in this training is the deliberate exposure of the victim to situations and behaviors that may lead to the act of hair pulling. This exposure is considered for the person to practice not pulling. A sense of control is needed here. Medications Certain medications are considered for treating trichotillomania. However, it's interesting to know that although medications may assist people to stop pulling one’s hair, the effect is just temporary. There is a amazing chance for the symptoms of this disorder to reappear. In this case, a behavioral therapy is still deemed necessary. According to some experts, the therapy should be included into the medication treatment. Here are few of those commonly advised medications for trichotillomania: Valproate (Depakote) Lithium Carbonate (Eskalith, Lithobid) Paroxetine (Paxil) Fluoxetine (Prozac) Sertraline (Zoloft) Fluvoxamine (Luvox) Clomipramine (Anafranil) As what I’ve mentioned earlier, dealing with trichotillomania is difficult. Every person affected by it should try to exercise control and self control on his behavior, and since what exactly triggers this disorder is still unknown, further research to fully answer this puzzling disorder is highly needed. Thanks to some psychiatrists and psychologists out there that treating tricho is now attended. And, as long as the fact that it feels wonderful to have your hair pulled remains a mystery, proper aid and everyday effort is no doubt a very necessary requirement here. |
