Trichotillomania affects 4% of the population with significant comorbidity (38.8%). It is found between trichotillomania and different DSM-5 entities such as schizophrenia, bipolar mood disorder or depressive disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and with other body-focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs) such as skin-picking disorder (SPD). We report three cases of trichotillomania with three different comorbid psychiatry disorders: schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder and bipolar mood disorder. Current treatment strategies for TTM involve a multimodal approach as according to research in the presence of comorbidity, treatment for TTM may need to be modified. %A Modi, Neha %A Chaudhary, Pradhyuman %A Mehta, Ritambhara %A Dave, Kamlesh %P 196-199 %9 journal article %R 10.5114/nan.2021.113321 %U http://dx.doi.org/10.5114/nan.2021.113321
