You can live a long and happy life and still have trich

Normal, unless they eat the hairs / roots. This could lead to boazars, growths in their stomachs, which could lead to other health complications.

Trichotillomania has no impact on life expectancy in general, but it should be noted that a vast majority of those afflicted with trich also suffer from anxiety or depressive disorders and are more likely to be reclusive or have suicidal thoughts.

It does not affect lifespan.

Trich does not affect your life expectancy in any way. It may alter your mental health, but it will not reduce how long you will live or kill you, regardless of how long you suffer.

It is not a terminal diagnosis.

Trichotillomania does not affect your life expectancy. Physically, the harm is mostly limited to scabbing, ingrown hairs, and of course patchy spots/hair loss. The biggest effect is on your state of mind, the stress of trying to stop but not being able to. But you can overcome that and learn to live with it, possibly even stop altogether.

No difference in life spans for folks with trich. Only thing that could happen with trich is if you have Trichophagia where you eat the hair. You could end up with a hair build up in your stomach and that can cause serious issues.

Trichotillomania itself will not increase or decrease life expectancy of a person.

Average life expectancy. Trich is not a life threatening condition.

Trichotillomania is not life threatening. However, if you eat the hair it can become dangerous.

The same as an individual who doesn't suffer from trichotillomania
