Treating trichotillomania can basically be done from two major angles; through medication, and through behavioral training. Reports of using medication, as a stand alone form of treating trichotillomania, show a very low success rate. Antidepressants with serotonergic properties, such as those used for people with obsessive compulsive disorders, are among those most typically used for treating trichotillomania, Clomipramine (also known as Anafranil) being the most effective in these cases.[]
True enough, such brands of therapy have been conjured up long before we had the education in this condition that we do today, but trichotillomania in adults has become a past memory for a vast many. It used to be (and even presently this still persists to some degree) that "trich" was treated just the same way as an obsessive compulsive disorder ("OCD"). Utilizing the same drugs to treat OCD, these were used to treat trichotilllomania in adults and in children, using antidepressant drugs with serotonergic properties (such as with Cloropramine, also called Anafranil).
Today, more behaviorally based therapies are in use, and with insurmountably high success rates. Especially successful are of the type known as "behavioral substitution", or "behavioral replacement" therapies. These actually provide a means for patients to educate themselves further on their conditions while they benefit from them. Many have changed from drug therapies over to the more behaviorally base therapies as a result of the successes that are had by thousands of sufferers, even with cases of trichotillomania in adults.
Boredom, stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and pain are what make trying to stop pulling out eyelashes very difficult. Sufferers worry about what other people think which worsens the problem and only builds on the emotional anguish. By realizing the emotional triggers that start you pulling eyelashes, you can learn to work on curing yourself.Accepting that you have a problem is a major step to stop pulling eyelashes. No one thinks any less of you for doing it, so confide in friends and family. The longer you hide from your problem of, the longer it will take to treat. With acceptance, you will start to feel better emotionally which in the end will help you physically stop pulling out eyelashes.
The development of a universal trichotillomania treatment that works for anyone has had some recent breakthroughs, using more archetypical psychological methods which have an effect on everyone. Putting these methods to use and applying these techniques with diligence, sufferers everywhere have been completely curing themselves of this condition and regaining higher quality of life. These techniques are a simple and well structured plan of trichotillomania treatment which usually takes less than ten minutes to implement with effects which last life long.For a trichotillomania treatment to be effective, you need to attack the cause. There's no miracle cure-all pill to take care of this problem, and that is due to the condition not stemming from a biochemical root. There exist some medications which are engineered to change certain behavioral activities however this merely produces a temporary fix, if indeed a functional fix at all, for the situation. One should well note that this only produces an effect while you continue to take the medications, only seeming to postpone the condition, not improving it. Obviously, this wouldn't the most prudent course of trichotillomania treatment.
Only some methods work effectively to stop pulling out eyelashes. The key to Trichotillomania treatment is about accepting and understanding the disorder. By learning to relax and keep occupied with other activities, the faster you will be able to stop pulling eyelashes.Trichotillomania therapy is mainly grouped into two types; medical, and behavioral. Studies show very low success rates with medication and traditional psychoanalysis. Among the medications that are typically used are antidepressants with serotonergic properties (which are also used by patients with obsessive compulsive disorders), Clomipramine (also known as Anafranil) being the most effective in these cases.
While SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) provide generally mixed results on their own, researchers usually recommend using these in conjunction with neuroleptic drugs (antipsychotics) in very low doses as a medical means of trichotillomania therapy. Due to the low success rates of medications as a stand alone form of therapy, these are usually combined with behavioral therapy. Psychoanalysis tends to focus on childhood experiences and unresolved conflicts or issues during early developmental stages of the person's life.
However, behavioral trichotilllomania therapy reports show long term success rates of 90% or higher. This can include multiple means of therapy of both generally accepted and controversial types. Among the more controversial variety are the punishment procedural types of trichotillomania therapy, which can include mittens placed over the hands, topical creams used to increase pain, and even electric shock treatments. While these procedures are very intrusive, they are most often used with individuals who may be unable to consent, such as those suffering from serious developmental disabilities and young children.The more widely accepted forms of behavioral trichotillomania therapy, which reports the high success rate number mentioned earlier, are of the type known as habit reversal training. This educates sufferers more on this condition and teaches them to monitor their hair pulling habits while substituting them with more constructive, healthier habits. Some alternative forms of behavioral trichotillomania therapy can include hypnosis and the use of biofeedback mechanisms.
