- Abstract
Trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) is an obsessive compulsive spectrum disorder characterized by repeated hair pulling from various sites with an increased tension prior to hair pulling and a sense of relief following the act. The disorder has been seen to occur with various psychiatric disorders. Here we report a case of trichotillomania that was seen with a case of delusional disorder that responded well to treatment.
