Snippet from the article:
Laura Forbes has a ten-a-day habit that she is desperate to break. She tries to keep her hands and her mind occupied, but when she does succumb to temptation she feels guilty and frustrated to have derailed another attempt to give it up for good.
Laura is not addicted to cigarettes or to any other well-known vice. She is a trichotillomaniac – one of more than a million women in Britain who are tormented by the constant urge to tear out their own hair.
That Laura is plucking only ten hairs from her head a day is a great triumph of willpower for a girl whose obsession, at its peak, left her bald from the crown to the front of her head.

Trichotillomania is an obsessive compulsive disorder, and the article delves into looks at what triggers the desire to pull out your hair and how to possibly treat it. There’s no single solution that has worked across the board for everyone, but research has pointed towards new treatment paths.
Just a little over a year ago, we wrote about an over-the-counter pill that might help control the compulsion, but I haven’t found any newer info about it. If I find out more, I’ll post it on this site.
I do not believe 11 weeks in and of itself should have a detrimental effect on your hair loss issue.
I am going to assume you do not look bald at Norwood 2. You are very worried about some thinning in the front. The doctor you saw is likely a general internist who does not see hair loss patients as his primary practice. And even if that doctor is the most caring and sympathetic doctor in the world, if he does not treat patients with hair loss on a day-to-day basis as his number one priority, they would most likely not pay attention to young men who do not look bald. I do not think it is the doctor’s fault, but it is just the way doctors are trained. You see, hair loss is not considered an illness or a disease. It does not affect your health. So doctors really do not learn about it and its treatment in medical school.
Matt Kelley was 38 when he first noticed a round, hairless spot in his beard. Within six weeks, every inch of his body that once had hair — including his eyebrows, eyelashes, arms and head — was completely bald. 
The density has nothing to do with the harvesting method used, just the number of hairs per square mm that the grafts are placed in. Generally, depending upon hair/skin color and hair texture, the amount of hair needed to look full will reflect somewhere between 25-50% of your original density. One reason follicular unit extraction (FUE) might be best used for smaller cases has more to do with costs involved, since it is the more expensive procedure.
A lock of hair cut from Napoleon Bonaparte’s head after he died has sold for US$13,000 at an auction in New Zealand.
