Trichotillomania

(DO NOT TRY TO ATTEMPT THIS ACTION OF PULLING OUT HAIR! THIS WILL CAUSE YOU A LOT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL ISSUES!)

This word is pronounced as "try-cho-till-o-mania". It is an unusually long word and according to Merriam Webster Dictionary:

The definition of Trichotillomania is - an abnormal desire to pull out one's hair

Trichotillomania comes from combining roots from New Latin (trich, meaning “hair,” and mania) and Greek (tillein, meaning “to pull, pluck”). The word appears to have come about at the suggestion of a French doctor at the end of the 19th century.

Trichotillomania.—This name is proposed by M. Hallopeau for a condition described by him at the seance of the French Society of Dermatology and Syphilography … It is a morbid condition, consisting of exacerbations of pruriginous sensations in the hairy parts of the body, accompanied by a vesania, that leads the subjects to try to get relief by pulling out the hairs, hence the name given above.
— American Journal of Insanity (Baltimore, MD), Jul. 1894

By 1896 the word was already found defined in medical dictionaries, such as George M. Gould’s The Student’s Medical Dictionary (“an uncontrollable impulse to pull out one’s hair”).
Person: "I have Trichotillomania! Please don't mind me trying to pull out my hair! It's actually pretty satisfying!
