The term trichotillomania was coined by Francois Henri Hallopeau in the late 1800s. It's derived from the greek words thrix (hair), tillein (to pull), and mania (madness). Before this, it was mentioned as early as the 4th century B.C., by Aristotle. It was recognized by the American Psychiatric Association in 1987, in the DSM-III-R.
