Im not so sure people would call it a disability, unless they had it. Self esteem keeps us all from what we want to some degree. I do believe though, that for those who CAN NOT stop pulling, and have noticable baldness, are disabled to a point. They would have to use things to cover it up, unless they were completely comfortable with the look of their balding hair. But I haven't met anyone that is like that.

i dont thinks its a disability i think its addiction like smoking drugs ect... in some ways i think people who do this have a lot of self esteem and strength. think about how much mind power we have if we have the strenghth to pull. we just need to figure out how to turn that strength to pull to ?
