Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder) Research

Hi! I am currently working on a research paper to advance our understanding of trichotillomania. Your participation helps medical professionals and scientists develop better forms of treatment for the estimated 200,000 Americans with TTM. The questionnaire is a Google form (approx. 5 min long) that is open to everyone who has/had trichotillomania. The more people who participate, the stronger our research will be, so please feel free to share. Thank you for your time, you are making a difference :)  https://forms.gle/iB958cgTDpPbx5pZ8

Just wanted to say that the support and sheer number of responses I have gotten over the last few hours have been incredible. Thank everyone SO much. I have struggled from trich my whole life and know what it's like to feel lost and ashamed. I'm putting all of my time and energy into this research to try and advance our medical professionals' understanding and knowledge of trichotillomania. Thank you, thank you.
