I am trying to learn about what my daughter (adult) has so I can understand better.
She has had severe trichotillomania- eyelashes for many years. When I read about it, it fits into the OCD group- but I don't see anything that would make me think OCD, such as handwashing or any repetative behavior. She lies, tells half-truths, denies what she has done, is volitile, and blames me for absolutely everything you could possibly imagine. She is unbelievably manipulative, gets into fights with me constantly. I am at my wits end. It is very much like living with a severe alcoholic.
I have gone to county therapy, and will continue when there is an opening. In the meantime, what other diagnosis should I learn about. TY
