Abstract
Evidence on the etiopathogenesis and pathophysiology of Trichotillomania remains limited. An explanatory model based on psychological hypotheses suggests that hair-pulling regulates emotional or stressful states and provides temporary relief from negative emotions by reinforcing hair-pulling behaviors. The COVID-19 pandemic represents a stressful situation that may trigger hair-pulling behaviors. In addition, isolation and restrictions have led to negative emotional states, with an impact on hair-pulling conduct.
Here, we present the clinical case of a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with Trichotillomania after contracting COVID-19.
