Amy Schumer reveals hair-pulling disorder: 'I think everybody has a big secret, and that’s mine'
Amy Schumer is ready to share her "big secret." The "Life & Beth" creator and star recently revealed that she has "trichotillomania." According to the Mayo Clinic, the "hair-pulling disorder" is a "mental disorder that involves recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body, despite trying to stop." "I think everybody has a big secret, and that’s mine," Schumer told The Hollywood Reporter. "And I’m proud that my big secret only hurts me, but it’s been what I’ve carried so much shame about for so long." According to the Oscars co-host, she has struggled with the condition since childhood. "And it’s not that I used to have this problem, and now I don’t," she noted.
