[QUOTE=Sparky10;21406]Big word for chronic hairpulling. She's been seeing a therapist for years, but this is new.

Anybody want to talk about their OCD?[/QUOTE

I think my Grandson has that condition. He is 4 years old and pulls out his hair on the top of his head. This started a few months ago. He doesn't pull out his hair on the sides, just the top, and leaves a very big bald spot on the top of his head. Poor baby wears a cap to cover it up, as he is embarrased by it. The last time he pulled it out, it hasnt grown back as fast or as thick as the rest of his hair. I just hope he hasn't caused permanent damage to the roots. He has an appointment with a Psychologist next week. His Mom also had a similar problem when she was young. She was dx as being OCD. She would pull out all of her eyelashes and her eyebrows. The Psyc. put her on Anafranil, which helped her in time. I just hope that we can find the right treatment for him. Anyone here have any similar experiences with children with this condition? Thanks in advance
