Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trichotillomania is a disorder characterized by a recurrent pulling out of one's own hair, resulting in noticeable hair loss and significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other areas of functioning. It is classified as an obsessive-compulsive and related disorder in the DSM-5. The fact that Micah experiences an irresistible urge to pull out his body hair supports this diagnosis. Somatic symptom disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and excoriation disorder do not involve hair pulling as a primary symptom.
