Trichotillomania is the name for it. It's commonly a sign of OCD. The person is obsessive about pulling the hair out because it will make them feel better for a short period of time. There is treatment for it as well. You should go to yahoo and search in the name that I gave you and it will give you tons of information about this disease. Best of luck.

She should seek medical help. Its a condition called Trichotillomania. There are medications that will make her stop.

sounds like ocd obsessive compulsive disorder. its like biting your nails. you may not enjoy it but you just ''have'' to do it.
im not a doctor but maybe you should suggest she see one
