The document discussed the significant psychosocial impact of androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, on individuals' quality of life.

Additionally, there was a noted dissatisfaction with appearance and a preoccupation with hair loss, leading to concerns about others' reactions and fear of social teasing.
