OCD, Hair Pulling, & Skin Picking: What You Need to Know

Why do some people compulsively pull their hair or pick at their skin? In this episode, Dr. McGrath breaks down body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), including trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation disorder (skin picking). He dives into why these compulsions happen, the cycle that keeps them going, and — most importantly — how to break free.
