The physician recognized the pattern of trichotillomania (Figure 159-1) and asked the girl if she was pulling on her hair. She told the doctor that this has been a very stressful year for her as she is currently taking four Advanced-Placement courses simultaneously. She admitted to playing with her hair while studying and sometimes that involved pulling on the hairs. The physician explained to the girl and her mother that this was a case of trichotillomania. He asked if the girl would be willing to stop pulling on her hairs and if she would like further counseling. She promised the doctor and her mother that she would stop pulling her hair and preferred to not enter counseling at this time. A follow-up appointment for one month was set.
