Answer #1

Trich (pronounced trick )- short for trichotillomania. 1-5% of people have trich and it can be controlled with various medications plus possibly some behavior modification. Trich sufferers often say they feel a tenseness or pressure which is reduced or relieved by the hair pulling. Often a sufferer cannot resist the urge, and often doesn’t realize they are doing it. It is believed to be a brain chemical misfunction.

Hope this Helps. Good Luck
