My son’s been so anxious waiting for A-level results that he’s pulling his hair out
DEAR DEIDRE: WHILE waiting for his A-level results, my son has literally been pulling his hair out.
If he had actually sat the exams, he’d probably be bald by now.
He’s 18 and has been so anxious.
His tutor has told him not to worry as he’s expected to pass.
But this doesn’t stop him fretting.
He’s got a conditional offer for university but has pulled so much hair out it’s knocking his confidence even more. He is now starting on his eyebrows.
Can you please suggest something?

DEIDRE SAYS: Trichotillo-mania, which literally means hair-pulling, is brought on by stress and anxiety.
He should ask his GP for a referral to a specialist but he can hopefully break the habit using techniques via trichotillomania.co.uk.
Meditating or listening to calming music could help. My e-leaflet Self-help For Stress explains more.
Wish him all the best with his results.
