Abstract

Trichotillomania represents the symptom of pulling out hair. This has been recognised in many psychiatric disorders but is a relatively uncommon presentation. We report a case of trichotillomania associated with dementia. Treatment with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors was found to be effective.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4038/sljpsyc.v5i1.6920 SL J Psychiatry 2014; 5 (1): 27-28
