Personality Disorders and Psychopathologic Symptoms in Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia

A study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) have a higher prevalence of personality disorders and psychopathologic symptoms compared to the general population. Gender did not seem to be a significant factor in the study. The study suggests that psychological evaluation and treatment may be beneficial for patients with AGA. The severity of hair loss was positively correlated with the severity of psychopathologic symptoms. Certain personality traits, such as neuroticism and introversion, were also associated with AGA. However, the study had limitations, such as a small sample size and lack of a control group with other types of alopecia.
