Is running your fingers through your hair for hours to get rid of loose hairs, and possibly pulling them out at the same time considered trichotillomania? I do this everyday and my mom and siblings have to tell me to stop. I can't stand loose hair falling on my clothes. I am sensitive to loose hair on my skin and want that off of me and in order to prevent that, I run my fingers through my hair for a long time. If it's not trichotillomania, would it be under OCD? I believe I have a mild case of OCD also. Talking to pdoc about that at the moment (OCD). Thanks for you replies.
