Article Synopsis
- Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune condition characterized by hair loss, affecting about 0.1-0.2% of the population and leading to significant psychological issues.
- A study at Farhat Hached Hospital analyzed 60 AA patients, revealing that over half (51.7%) exhibited depression, with factors like younger age, eyelash/eyebrow loss, nail involvement, and poor treatment response strongly linked to depression.
- The findings emphasize the need for psychological support for individuals with AA to improve their overall well-being and treatment outcomes.
