Trichofasia
For the revision of 14:21, 17 September 2014 by Neptunevasilias, (s)he commented:"someone added 'and in some cases eat your hair', which is not trichotillomania, but trichofasia. Although similar, you should not mix them up." Isn't it relevant to mention Trichofasia, though? It is related to Trichotillomania, isn't it? I don't know enough about this, but if someone wants to help, I'd appriciate it. Thank you, Laurier  (talk) 08:01, 20 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Just a note: the term is trichophagia.BroWCarey (talk) 13:01, 23 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your correction. I'm glad it's mentioned in the article now! Laurier  (talk) 12:50, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It is related. Some people with trich eat the hair they pull. Even though the act of eating hair is technically trichophagia, it relates to trichotillomania. BluJay (talk) 02:53, 17 January 2016 (UTC)


 * For some lifetime sufferers/doers these two are completely intertwined Wenforhudc (talk) 17:08, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Relation with morsicatio buccarum?
Is there a relation with morsicatio buccarum? I think there is, and it would be relevant to mention that on this page. Does anyone know more? Laurier (talk) 14:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Per ICD11, no longer a Habit and Impulse Disorder
Trichotillomania had for a time been lumped with profoundly different conditions such as pyromania and compulsive lying. With ICD-11, it is classified as Body-repetitive disorder. Cfr. article: Innovations and changes in the ICD‐11 classification of mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders, World Psychiatry. 2019 Feb; 18(1): 3–19.Knoitalno (talk) 23:55, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Fiction
I think we should add the film YOUNG-ADULT, as Charlize theron's character Mavis shows these symptoms and there is a source for it in the reception section of that article,too.NILE WALKER (talk) 07:59, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
