    compulsive urge to pull out one's own hair

    Trichotillomania, also known as Hair-Pulling Disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by an irresistible urge to pull out one's own hair, leading to noticeable hair loss and significant distress or impairment. This condition is classified under Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders in the DSM-5 and often requires a combination of behavioral therapy and, in some cases, medication for effective management.
