Screened prevalence of trichotillomania and its association with self-esteem among Saudi medical students: a cross-sectional study

More than ten percent of medical students through this screening have shown symptoms of Trichotillomania. Symptoms of Trichotillomania potentially affect the mental conditions of students, including self-esteem. The screening has shown that the Trichotillomania was higher in females than males, but the difference was insignificant. Longitudinal studies are needed to extract more data about the Trichotillomania prevalence and its relative impact on mental health conditions.
