I have trichotillomania and I’d say it’s a good portrayal but that’s just based on my experience.
The overwhelming urge to pull hair out is real, especially when stressed, and what’s worse is that the scalp gets irritated (I think?) from the hair being pulled out, making it itch, which makes the hair pulling worse.
I’m glad I got it accurate in a way. I did actually pull at my own hair to help with the writing but I figured that was nothing to actually having the condition and tried to intensify the feelings.
