Hairpulling

Hi! Many psychiatrists think that hair puling is OCD. The act of hair pulling generally occurs without any conscious thought regarding the hair. It is generally an automatic, compulsive and repetitive behavior. Among the automatic, compulsive and repetitive behaviors, hair pulling is a behavior that is focused on the body. We all have an inbuilt tendency for body behaviors. When some people experience a negative physical or emotional state such as pain, hunger, tension, frustration, helplessness, agitation, excitement, boredom or anger, they tend to act upon their own body, rather than upon the environment. You should talk about that with psychiatrist.
