A teenager who spends THREE HOURS a day pulling out chunks of her hair started ripping out her eyelashes when she was just eight years old. Megan Prosser, 19, suffers from trichotillomania, also known as trich, a mental disorder where sufferers experience an irresistible urge to pull out their hair. During a ‘pulling attack’, as Megan refers to her sessions, the nanny and pet store worker can easily create a bald patch the size of her hand. Megan, of Long Island, New York, USA, tried to regain control by shaving her head but admitted that pulling out her hair still absorbs her attention daily.
