      Type: Trichotillomania

      I am going to be 44 in October. I have been doing this since I was about 8. Not making excuses but I was sexually abused by my stepfather. I have had 3 breakdowns. I can't talk to anyone about it. I have had to wear a wig for 26 years because of this.

      Treatments

      Topamax Working / Worked
      The meds help with the depression and sleep but not much with the hair pulling.
