> does anyone have any info on trich.(hair pulling). My 24 yr. old daughter has it and I would really like to help her but don't know how to approach her or what to do.Any info would help.

> Waldo51************How long has she had the problem? In my experience I noticed once I became habituated with the action it seemed harder to control the behavior. It's possible she's searching for attention>? Or it could be behavior fed from boredom. I find if I don't have time to fidget with my hair or if I'm in a public place I won't persist in doing the hair pulling.
