A hair-pulling disorder used when feeling anxious or bored, this can also be classified as a form of OCD and an anxiety disorder. The most common areas pulled are the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubes. This disorder can usually be self-diagnosed and if the pulling gets out of control or it affects your day-to-day life, you should seek help like therapy or a certified doctor.
