Trichotillomania may sometimes be an atypical variant of depressive illness. A case is reported in which the MAO inhibitor isocarboxazid was successfully used to treat both depression and associated trichotillomania. The symptoms recurred upon discontinuation of the drug and were ameliorated by reintroduction of isocarboxazid .
