Trichotillomania: Neurobiology And Treatment

The review on trichotillomania provided an in-depth look at the disorder, characterized by repetitive hair pulling, and its impact on individuals. It covered historical perspectives, psychological factors, and its links to other repetitive behaviors and obsessive-compulsive disorders. The review discussed findings from controlled treatment trials involving psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, and explored neural circuitry through animal models and neuroimaging studies. Despite limited evidence and small sample sizes, it offered valuable insights and highlighted areas for future research in neurobiology and treatment.
