Hi dear.
I had gone through your query.
Trichotilomenia can be treated with drug and psychotherapy.
It can be treated with drug like fluoxetine but need to identify underlying psychological problem.
Psychotherapy like habit reversal method can be uaeful but before any treatment you need to consult psychiatrist and evaluate yourself.
I hope I have answered your question.
Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
