摘要
The authors present a case report involving an adolescent with trichotillomania who was treated with paroxetine. A significant reduction in symptoms was apparent after two weeks of treatment. Dose was gradually increased to 30 mg of paroxetine per day, which was well tolerated without any significant adverse events. The authors discuss potential treatment implications of this case.
