<unk>  <unk>  is a condition characterized by the repeated irresistible desire to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, facial hair, pubic hair, nose hair, eyebrows, and/or other body hair. The hair pulling relieves the anxiety preceding the event but leaves behind scars and injuries. The feeling of losing control and fear of pulling out all of the hair leaves the individual in severe frustration. The person very often pulls out a significant amount of hair amounting to hair loss. It also results in enormous distress and functional impairment in several areas of life. Secondary to this behavior, there is a progressive deterioration of self-esteem and eventually, self-isolation. These individuals unsuccessfully try to stop this behavior due to physical and mental stress experienced after the act, or harsh comments from the family and friends. Therefore,<unk>  is emotionally traumatizing as well as socially stigmatizing.
