Prior studies of behavior therapy for trichotillomania (TTM) have shown that response is variable, and relapse after treatment discontinuation is common. Little information is available concerning prognostic factors capable of predicting individual differences in response or maintenance of improvement. The present study is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial (N = 36) of the Comprehensive Behavioral (ComB) model of treatment for TTM (Carlson et al., 2021). We investigated age, disorder history, pre-treatment symptom severity, longest prior period of abstinence from pulling, and Emotion and Intention hair pulling styles as predictors of initial response...

It represents an uncommon psychiatric disorder, especially in young children. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes a distinctive and rare occurrence of trichotillomania, tricophagia and trichobezoar in a 11-year-old male child. Concerns raised by the parents regarding noticeable hair loss, who initially presented to medical outdoor patient with complaints of abdominal pain on and off from the last one year...

There are body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as skin picking, trichotillomania, or nail biting, for which therapeutic interventions are available and can be tried, but unfortunately, there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for them. These disorders can cause functional impairment, disrupt activities of daily living, and be burdensome for both the patients and their loved ones. This case report will discuss an over-the-counter vitamin supplement, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), that can be used safely but is often overlooked...

Body-focused repetitive behavior disorders, including trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) and excoriation (skin picking) disorder, typically emerge in early adolescence, but little is known about the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of these disorders in young people, particularly in real-world clinical settings. Participants were 63 children and adolescents (51 girls; age range 9-17) with a diagnosis of trichotillomania (n = 33) and/or skin-picking disorder (n = 33) attending a specialist outpatient clinic in Stockholm, Sweden...

Trichotillomania (TTM) is a psychiatric disorder with dermatologic consequences, characterized by recurrent hair-pulling. It affects 1-3% of the population, and often coexists with other psychiatric disorders, leading to emotional distress. Effective management of TTM can be challenging due to underdiagnosis, symptom heterogeneity, and stigma. Pharmacological interventions, including SSRIs and NAC are commonly utilized. The objective of this review is to assess the existing literature on pharmacotherapy for trichotillomania and identify potential avenues for future research and treatment advancements...

Acceptance-enhanced behavior therapy for trichotillomania (AEBT-TTM) is effective in reducing trichotillomania (TTM) symptoms, but the durability of treatment effects remains in question. This study analyzed 6-month follow-up data from a large randomized clinical trial comparing AEBT-TTM to an active psychoeducation and supportive therapy control (PST). Adults with TTM (N=85; 92% women) received 10 sessions of AEBT-TTM or PST across 12 weeks. Independent evaluators assessed participants at baseline, post-treatment, and 6 months follow-up...

INTRODUCTION: Bezoars are masses of indigestible foreign material in the gastrointestinal tract, usually in the stomach. These materials could be indigestible fruits, hair, milk products, or tablets. In children, the most common type of bezoar is trichobezoar (formed from hair). CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a female patient who has been complaining about deterioration of mood, collapse without losing consciousness, scotomas, and cardiac arrhythmia for 2 years...

Trichotillomania (or hair pulling disorder) is a habitual condition in which patients constantly pull their hair. Although psychotherapies such as behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy have shown relative effectiveness for trichotillomania, some patients fail to respond to these interventions or show only partial responses. Recently, noninvasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation have shown promise in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. We designed a new protocol that included intensified and repeated during 16 sessions, every other day, 2 sessions one day, current intensity of 2 mA for 20 minutes, which regions dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and supplementary motor area (SMA): Anodal (F3) and cathodal (SMA) were selected as stimulation target areas...

BACKGROUND: Kinetic sand is a type of play sand that is marketed to children above the age of three years old. It is comprised of sand coated with silicone oil, holding its shape when squeezed or pressed. It is described as a non-toxic, hypoallergenic, safe sand for arts and crafts, and is highly appealing due to its realistic appearance and odor. We present the first reported case of bowel obstruction due to small and large bowel intussusceptions caused by ingestion of kinetic sand leading to hospitalization for medical treatment in a young girl...

Aripiprazole is an efficacious treatment for both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and is also commonly used as a mood stabilizer. It is associated with better tolerability compared with other antipsychotics. However, there are reports of patients who experience problem gambling, hypersexuality, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and other impulsive and/or compulsive behaviors as a result of aripiprazole administration and/or dosage increase. We aimed to do a systematic review of case reports published in this regard...

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and neuropsychological features of impulsivity in adolescent girls with trichotillomania (TTM) and healthy controls, and to assess the relationships between the severity of TTM and the impulsivity/concomitant symptoms of anxiety and depression. The study sample consisted of 43 adolescent girls who were 12 to 18 years old. The Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version DSM-5 (K-SADS-PL) was administered to the adolescents and their parents...

PURPOSE: Impulsivity is a common cognitive issue across several psychiatric illnesses but is most frequently associated with the DSM-5 Disruptive, Impulse Control and Conduct Disorders, ADHD, and addictive disorders. We hypothesized that a wide range of psychiatric disorders would be associated with elevated impulsivity, not just those commonly linked to impulsiveness. This study aimed to explore the relationship between impulsivity and various psychiatric disorders in young adults. PROCEDURES: 700 non-treatment seeking participants (aged 18-29 years) were enrolled from the general community, provided demographic information, and underwent a psychiatric evaluation to screen for various psychiatric disorders...

Rachel E Christensen, Isabella Tan, Mohammad Jafferany
Trichotillomania, defined as the compulsive pulling out of one's hair, is a psychocutaneous condition associated with functional impairment and decreased quality of life. The pathophysiology of trichotillomania is poorly understood and likely multifactorial, involving alterations in both neural activity and cognitive function. Behavioral treatment options for trichotillomania are limited and are often only modestly effective. Moreover, there are no medications currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its treatment...

Trichotillomania and skin picking disorder are often classified as body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) as they are characterized by repetitive hair-pulling and skin picking, respectively. They were initially considered to be impulse control disorders despite little research scrutiny. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship of these two conditions to other disorders with impulsive features. Adults with trichotillomania (n = 104) and skin picking (n = 178) or both (n = 96) were recruited from the general community using advertisements and online support groups and completed an online survey...

BACKGROUND: Prevalence estimates for body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as trichotillomania differ greatly across studies owing to several confounding factors (e.g. different criteria). For the present study, we recruited a diverse online sample to provide estimates for nine subtypes of BFRBs and body-focused repetitive disorders (BFRDs). METHODS: The final sample comprised 1481 individuals from the general population. Several precautions were taken to recruit a diverse sample and to exclude participants with low reliability...
