TLDR Severe hair loss significantly worsens quality of life.
The study on "Hair loss severity and its impact on quality of life in patients suffering from androgenic alopecia" conducted over one year found that the severity of hair loss significantly affected the quality of life in patients. The cross-sectional study included a substantial number of participants, which strengthened the findings.
