    TLDR Coping skills in PCOS patients don't significantly affect mental health, quality of life, or body weight.
    The study investigated coping skills in 70 Indian women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and found that while both adaptive and maladaptive coping skills were used, adaptive skills were more prevalent. Problem-focused coping was notably higher than emotional or dysfunctional coping. There was no significant difference in coping skills between patients with and without psychiatric co-morbidity, nor was there a significant correlation between coping skills and quality of life or body-mass index. Overall, coping skills did not significantly impact psychiatric morbidity, quality of life, or body-mass index in patients with PCOS.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
