Condition
Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder)
A one-page care plan for patients with Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder), covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition, Next Steps & Numbers, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know this is a treatable mental health condition, not a lack of willpower.
- I learn my triggers, such as boredom, stress, or the feel of certain hairs.
- I tell my clinician if I chew or swallow hair; swallowed hair can block my stomach or bowel.
- I protect sore skin and follow care instructions to reduce infection and scarring.
