Overview

Literature review reveals dysregulated reward circuits and genetic factors in trichotillomania, suggesting better treatment approaches.

Key Points

  • Significant symptom improvement is achievable with behavior therapy, targeting the disorder's complex mechanisms.
  • Research indicates that about 1–2% of the population is affected by trichotillomania, often underdiagnosed due to stigma.
  • Analysis of literature from 2000-2025 highlighted insights on neurobiology, sensory processing, and genetics.
  • Future research should focus on addressing public health gaps and enhancing treatment options for patients.
