Self-stigma and help-seeking in trichotillomania are largely addressed separately in the literature and remain peripheral to the field.

This study aims to map the existing literature on the relationship between self-stigma and help-seeking behavior in trichotillomania, a visible psychiatric condition frequently associated with stigma and psychosocial distress, and to identify research gaps. A scoping review using Web of Science was combined with a descriptive bibliometric analysis. Studies examining trichotillomania in relation to stigma, shame, or treatment-seeking were included; data were analyzed in terms of publication characteristics and thematic content, and keyword co-occurrence networks were visualized using VOSviewer. A total of 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. The literature was found to be fragmented and limited, with most studies indirectly addressing stigma-related constructs such as shame, concealment, and social withdrawal. Four main themes emerged: self-stigma and shame, concealment and social isolation, delayed or avoided help-seeking, and a preference for alternative or digital interventions. Bibliometric mapping showed that research clusters centered predominantly on treatment approaches and body-focused repetitive behaviors, while self-stigma and help-seeking remained peripheral and weakly connected concepts. In conclusion, the largely separate examination of these two concepts, despite their potential interdependence, constitutes a critical gap in the literature. Research using integrative models is recommended to understand how self-stigma affects treatment engagement.
