Psittacula krameri in a case of blood and hair loss
Author | Chirag Tamboli
ABSTRACT: When a girl with severe anaemia and alopecia areata feels lonely and rejected, she plucks her hair and harms herself. In addition to many bird characteristics, the inability to tolerate loneliness, the intense need for communication and the transformation of emotional pain into physical self-harm point to Psittacula krameri, the Indian ringneck parrot, as her specific remedy.
