Using Antidepressants
Hi, Sparky ....
Gabe mentioned a medication that is often successful. I don't know what brand name medication he used back in the mid-1980's, but I knew a young elementary school student who totally stopped pulling out his hair (he had large bald spots) when the psychiatrist immediately prescribed an anti-depressant.
Antidepressants are regularly prescribed for anxieties - but I don't know enough about Trichotillomania to say anything at all about the "whys" it worked.
