I met a new friend in group therapy and her trich is so advanced that she wears a wig. It is a very good wig but I spotted it pretty quickly (I also wear wigs. I don't have Trich but am just lazy!) I had not met someone with it before. She is 29 and has a degree to teach kindergarten. She is also OCD and bipolar. It is early in her treatment so I see her struggle on a daily basis. She, too, goes to CBT therapy. Right now, she is trying to get on disability so her life is really upside down but she manages with meds and treatment. I know for a fact that she did not have a brain injury or surgery and she has no obvious cause for what started it in her.
So, yes, there are many who have this illness.
