Abstract

Prior failed treatments were reported in 60% ( I n i = 9/15) of patients with TTM, 63% ( I n i = 5/8) with SPD and 40% ( I n i = 2/5) with onychophagia. Concomitant treatments were reported in 8% ( I n i = 5/60) of patients with TTM, 7% ( I n i = 3/43) with SPD and 0% ( I n i = 0/26) with onychophagia. Trichotillomania (TTM), skin-picking disorder (SPD) and onychophagia are psychodermatologic conditions of primary psychiatric genesis categorized under obsessive compulsive and related disorders in the DSM-5.
