This  disease  usually  presents  with  a  bizarre  pattern  non-scarring  patchy  alopecia.Cognitive-behavioral  therapy  has  been  used  with  success  in  the  treatment  of  trichotillomania,  but  not  all  patients  are  willing  or  able  to  comply  with  this  treatment  strategy.Glutamate  modulating  agents  such  as  N-acetylcysteine  are  potential  pharmacotherapy  options,  with  significant  benefits  and  low  risk  of  side  effects.
