Quotes About Trichotillomania

I explained to Madeline that her mother had a common disorder called trichotillomania, which is the compulsive urge to pull out (and, in some cases, eat) one's own hair. It leads to noticeable hair loss, distress, and social or functional impairment. An impulse-control disorder, it's often chronic and difficult to treat.
~ Catherine Gildiner
If someone loves sweet things and constantly eats angel´s hair tartlets should this be diagnosed as having some sort of heavenly trichotillomania?
~ Ana Claudia Antunes
