The Hair Pulling Disorder That Nearly Destroyed Anthony Dibennedetto

Nicholas Seminario Season 2 Episode 45

In this episode of The Dark Angel Podcast, we delve into the world of trichotillomania, or TTM, a mental health disorder where a person compulsively pulls out their hair. Our guest today is Anthony Dibennedetto, one of the 5-10 million people in America who has suffered from this disorder.

Trichotillomania can be extremely stressful and confusing for anyone going through it. Unfortunately, like many mental health disorders, many people feel alone in this situation and feel like there’s something wrong with them. On this episode, we hope to break the stigma surrounding trichotillomania and provide insight into this often misunderstood disorder.

Anthony shares with us what caused his trichotillomania, how people in his life reacted, and how he’s gotten through it and is now on the other side of it. We discuss the mental health implications of trichotillomania and how it can impact self-esteem and relationships.

Through this conversation, we hope to provide a safe and supportive space for those who may be experiencing trichotillomania or know someone who is. We also discuss the importance of seeking professional help and the different treatment options available.

Join us for this informative and honest conversation on trichotillomania, only on "The Dark Angel Podcast".
