Hello,
Treating the disorder of trichophagia is similar to the treatment of other impulse control disorders. The disorder is believed to causes by a chemical imbalance in the brain and can be treated with a combination of anti-depressant drugs and psychotherapy. I suggest you consult a psychologist or psychiatrist in person for treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
