While trichophobia is not a distinct condition recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), its symptoms may meet the diagnostic criteria for a specific phobia. A specific phobia is an intense and irrational fear of a specific object or situation.
The word is derived from Greek khaite which means ‘loose flowing hair’ and phobos meaning aversion or fear. Other names used for the phobia include Trichopathophobia where tricho is Greek for hair and patho for disease. Thus Trichopathophobia means extreme “fear of hair disease” which causes a person to be afraid of going bald or developing scalp or hair issues.
