Trichotillomania is seen in normal children with a variety of psychiatric conditions (Krishnan, 1985). Although an association between depression and trichotillomania has been suggested in adults and adolescents (Krishnan, 1985), its association with DSM-III-R major depressive disorder in a prepubertal child has not been reported. Such a case of trichotillomania occurring with major depressive disorder is reported in this paper. In this prepubertal child, imipramine therapy led to remission of both disorders.
