Fyi- a few years ago mario cappechi found that mice who seemed to have trichotillomania had defective microglia. Their behavior stopped when they had a bone transplant. He found a certain gene.
Trich and depression are usually comorbid conditions (i have mild trich). He is currently doing a human trial.
From what i understand, it was the first real finding that proves the connection with the immune system and mental disorders.
If i could only get a bone transplant :-)
