Trichotillomania is a disorder of an impulsive hair pulling that occurs in both adults and children alike. Trichotillomania is seen in children and often has other psychiatric comorbidity. Here, we present an interesting case of a mother who had trichotillomania and recovered with treatment following which she resorted to pulling hair of her child and brought her child for treatment saying that the child too had trichotillomania and that we should help the child recover like her. After interviewing the child, it was revealed that it was, in fact, the mother who used to pull the child's hair as a release for her hair-pulling urges.
拔毛癖是一种冲动性拔毛障碍,在成人和儿童中均有发生。拔毛癖在儿童中较为常见,且常伴有其他精神疾病共病。在此,我们呈现一个有趣的案例:一位患有拔毛癖的母亲经治疗后康复,但之后她开始拔自己孩子的头发,并带孩子前来治疗,称孩子也患有拔毛癖,希望我们能像帮助她康复一样帮助孩子。在对孩子进行询问后发现,实际上是母亲过去常常拔孩子的头发,以此来释放自己的拔毛冲动。
