Impulse Control Disorders include specific behaviors that are typically unwanted or include long-term negative consequences but which are simultaneously difficult to control or stop. These types of behaviors may include:
Trichotillomania:
Impulsively pulling out one’s hair from either the scalp or other locations such as eyelashes, arms, legs, or pubic region.
Dermotillomania:
Also known as skin picking, this is the impulsive picking or scratching of the skin’s surface.
