Trichotillomania Wigs
What is Trichotillomania?
San Diego Hair Loss Center provides Trichotillomania wigs. Trichotillomania, also referred to as hair-pulling disorder, is a mental disorder that can lead to hair loss. Trichotillomania causes the patient to feel recurring urges to pull their own hair. The hair-pulling is not only limited to your scalp. It can also be seen in other parts of your body, such as your eyebrows or arm hair. Despite wanting to stop, most people have a difficult time resisting these urges.
According to the American Psychology Disorder, about 5 to 100 million people in the United States, roughly 3.5 percent of the population have some form of this disorder. The emotional distress of this disorder can be taxing on someone’s mental health and self-esteem. On average, it’s more likely for a woman to be diagnosed with Trichotillomania compared to a man. Unfortunately, both sexes can potentially be diagnosed with it. Regardless of sex, this condition can be devastating to one’s mental, physical, and emotional health.
