TRICHOTILLOMANIA
-
The
compulsion with
trichotillomania
is hair pulling or
plucking the hair
on body and head.
-
Hair pulling by
the patient
suffering from
Trichotillomania
leaves
bald
spots on the
head.
-
With
severe
trichotillomania hair
pulling
leads to all of
the head and
body being
plucked.
Most
psychiatrists
view trichotillomania
as
obsessive
compulsive
disorder.
Trichotillomania
is not common.
Inside of
NeuroResearch
Clinics the
most trichotillomania
patients
treated by
one care
giver is
six.
Current
attempts at
Trichotillomania
medical
treatment typically
involves use
of reuptake
inhibitors
of low
effectiveness.
These drugs deplete
neurotransmitters
making the
cause of the
problem
worse
(neurotransmitters not
high enough
to prevent
symptoms). Most
of this
Trichotillomania
medical
treatment
is not
impressive.
With drug
treatment
of
Trichotillomania common
reports at
office
visits are,
"I think it
is a little
better, the
bald patch
is a little
smaller."
Treatment
results such
as this coupled with
the drug risk of
suicide the current
treatment approaches
to
trichotillomania unacceptable
or questionable
at best.
Under the
NeuroResearch
Clinics
trichotillomania approach
no treatment
failures
have been
reported in
patients
compliant
with care.
Most
trichotillomania
patients are 18 years
of age and
younger
although
adults
suffering
from the
problem are
not uncommon.
Treatment of
trichotillomania
in adults is
equally
effective.
Adult
trichotillomania
treatment
typically
involves
starting the
amino acid
formulas
with dosing
changes
until
symptoms are
controlled.
After 3
weeks, if
trichotillomania
symptoms are
not under
control
urinary
neurotransmitter testing should obtained.
TRICHOTILLOMANIA
By: Howard Hagglund, MD Norman,
Oklahoma
To give a child with trichotillomania its
life back is a
thrill. This
trichotillomania
case had
my whole staff questioning me. What happened to the
trichotillomania? "At
my first introduction her parents said, “She is pulling her hair
out”. Little did I know the person was pulling her hair out suffering from trichotillomania.
The
trichotillomania
had lasted 2
years. They had
heard was using the
NeuroResearch
approach. The
parents wondered,
“Would I even see
her.” “Yes,”
was my reply, trichotillomania could be helped.
Details: Fifteen year old
cheerleader with trichotillomania.
Normal exam. Hair, "slicked down trying
to cover the bald areas, no
eyebrows". After reassurance that
the trichotillomania was not her fault, I
started level
one therapy for trichotillomania
with follow up in one week.
She was better in a week, but still pulling her eyebrows
out. Level 2
and a week later, trichotillomania
gone, it was awesome! In 40 years I have seen and done much. This
sweetheart with trichotillomania will follow me to my end.
The
NeuroResearch Clinics Peer Reviewed research
The research findings of NeuroResearch Clinics
have not been ignored. The University of
Minnesota Medical School is writing a series of
papers on the neurotransmitter testing research of NeuroResearch Clinics. The first of a series of papers by University of Minnesota Medical School based on the neurotransmitter testing research of NeuroResearch was published in "NeuroPsychiatric Disease and Treatment" May 1, 2009. Ingrid
Kohlstadt, MD of Johns Hopkins in her new
medical text book released February 7, 2009
included a chapter on depression written by
Marty L. Hinz, MD President Clinical
Research NeuroResearch Clinics outlining in
depth the proper use of amino acids and
neurotransmitter testing in treatment of
depression.
