Are there any ties to lying and Trichotillomania, since it's an impulse control disorder?

Question: I know that Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder. It would seem that if one had difficulty controlling the impulse to pull ones own hair, maybe they would be more likely to have a hard time controlling other impulses: lying, etc.?

Answers:
I agree with the above. No connection. You can think of trichotillomania as sort of like biting your fingernails. It can be a manifestation of stress or a habit. Nail biters don't lie any more often than non nail biters.
