Hair pulling.

Question

Hair pulling.

Asked for Female, 15 Years

Hi. So for the past few years, I've been pulling out my hair. It happens when I'm not focusing or when I'm purposefully do it. I know I have trichotillomania, but people keep telling me I have to see a doctor and make sure that it IS trichotillomania. It's been really hard for me, and I don't know what to do.
