Yes trichotillomania is considered to be an anxiety disorder and although it cannot be cured therapy can help control the urges when it comes to pulling of hair.
The percentage of the population that has trichotillomania is only 2 percent which is not all that many people.

Therapy can help some when it comes to a person who has this condition but the condition of trichotillomania cannot be cured.
