Trichotillomania (TTM) and Skin Picking Disorder (SPD) are psychiatric disorders characterized by chronic and compulsive pulling and picking to remove hair and skin. There are very few studies on the clinical and phenomenological differences of TTM and SPD. In this study we aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and comorbidities of patients diagnosed with TTM and SPD.
