Behavioral Treatment Strategy for Early Onset of Trichotillomania with Simultaneous Thumb Sucking
Journal Title: Epidemiology International - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
An early onset (before age 6) of trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) tends to remit more readily and responds to suggestions, support, and behavioral strategies. We present a case of a five-year-old girl, with a three-year history of trichotillomania associated with simultaneous thumb sucking, who responded well with behavior treatment.
