A child removes her hair and eyelashes with her hands .. The reason is Corona

The girl before and after her obsession with hair removal.

An eight-year-old girl has pulled off her hair and eyelashes with her hands, and has become almost bald, due to the stress of the coronavirus lockdowns in Britain, and her inability to see her friends at school.

The girl's mother says her daughter, Amelia, has developed trichotillomania due to the lockdown and is now almost bald.

Amelia Mansey, from Bristol in the southwest of England, began tearing her eyelashes out after they became upset during the UK's first nationwide lockdown, then later plucked her hair, according to her mother, Gemma.

According to the newspaper, “Daily Mail”, that although the girl returned to school, she was no longer able to get rid of the obsession that afflicted her, and the girl’s mother said: “I know she is still beautiful and amazing no matter what she has done, but when I wash her head I feel Very sad for her."

Her mother added that Amelia has been targeted by bullies due to her hair loss since schools returned earlier this year and is struggling to access children's mental health services due to the pressure on those services during the Corona crisis.
