Trichotillomania – Do you have it?

Do you have trichotillomania? If you do, I don’t think I’d tell many people about it (except professionals). I’d let them discover it for themselves. According to Wikipedia, “Sixty-five percent of those afflicted are female.” I guess that’s because they have more of what it needs. It’s estimated that 0.5-3.5% of the population has it. Since there are about 6,600,000,000 people in the world, that’s from 33,000,000 to 231,000,000 people. Wow!! But don’t worry: it can be reduced or controlled. There’s even a learning center for it founded in 1991 by Christina Pearson.

What is it, you ask? Well, it's not fear of "trichotillo." You’ll have to “Google” it to find out. You think I give away everything I know?
