Amy Schumer is opening up about her longtime struggle with trichotillomania, a compulsive hair-pulling disorder.
She told The Hollywood Reporter, "I think everybody has a big secret and that's mine. 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." She added, "And it's not that I used to have this problem and now I don't. It's still something that I struggle with." Trichotillomania can be genetic, so Amy is worried about her nearly 3-year-old son, saying, "Every time he touches his head I'm having a heart attack." As for why she's opening up about it now, Amy said, "I really don't want to have a big secret anymore. And I thought putting it in there would be good for me to alleviate some of my shame and maybe, hopefully, help others alleviate some of theirs, too."
