Answers:
I babysit for this family that has a little girl who is 6, a son who is 3 and another son who just turned 1. One day i was helping the mother take them all to the doctor and she pulled back the hair on top of her 3 year old son's head to reveal a small bald patch. She told the doctor that he'll sit there and piece by piece pull out his hair. She said it calms him down. The doctor told her that he had patients who had been doing this for 7 or 8 years. It isn't always stoppable but if you get psychiatric help, you can figure out what is causing this and try to find ways to distract yourself. some medications might be able to help you but you have to see a psychiatrist to get help. I know that stinks but it's one of the only ways. you most likely will not go bald and you can get help. there is actually a lot of people who have this. i could very easily be wrong but i want to say it's like 14% of people who have it.?.?.? Don't take my word for it, this was like a month ago and i'm going off of my memory (which is actually pretty good but still). This was the first time i'd heard anything on the subject. it is a disorder, and the name of it is sooooo long and difficult i can't remember it. i want to say that the person who told you what is was called (the long unpronounceable word) was right but i'm not a 100% sure. I really hope this helps and know that you are not alone and that you can fix this. it is not wierd or something to be embarased by at all. And i don't have it so im saying that from someone who is looking onto your situation. Good luck Health Question & Answer
