My sister lives in Toronto. She has a 5yr old boy who has been diagnosed as having trichotillomania by a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist is advising the boy to be put on the drug Prozac. The boy has been doing this for about 3yrs and has has other compulsive habits in the past. Does the drug Prozac an appropriate course to take? Are there any places in Toronto for his mother to contact for further information on this? Is it a chronic habit? Are there other places to look for solutions to trichotillomania?
Thank-you
Any answers would be appreciated.
