Answered by maham237 @



Answer: Trichotillomania

Explanation: Trichotillomania or hair-pulling disorder is a disorder that involves an irresistible urge to pull out body hair. The urge involves pulling out one's hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelids, and other areas of the body.

Trichotillomania is a kind of impulse control disorder. A person with these disorders knows that he/she is doing damage by acting on the impulses, but he/she cannot stop himself/herself.
