Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder which makes it very difficult for the person affected to stop pulling their own hair out. The best way to describe the "urge" that people with trichotillomania get is that it is irresistable. It feels good and relieves stress once the hair is pulled out. It is very hard for people who don't have it to understand the urge (believe me, it's not just a typical habit like biting your nails).
you cant stop it, you will have for your whole life no matter what you do, as you get older you may learn to control it, but there is no way to stop it, my friends just tell me to when i have the urge to just concentrate, and that will really help if u notice it but if any ?'s plz ask

How does trichotillomania began?
Trichotillomania can begin with innocent stimuli such as the feeling of something stuck to the hairs in question or irritation caused by itchiness in the area. The individual starts to pull on the hair if simple scratching doesn't stop the itching. The sensation of the hair being pulled out soothes the itching that person felt there. The built up tension is released and it triggers the reward system in the brain. If the individual is given to starting habits, trichotillomania can ensue.
Can trichotillomania occur at mustaches?
