TLDR Hair loss from telogen effluvium can cause mental health issues and lower life quality, needing both medical and emotional support.
The paper reviews the psychological impact of telogen effluvium, a form of hair loss, and finds a strong association with psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and social phobia. This distress can lead to reduced social interaction and a lower quality of life. The authors suggest that treatment for telogen effluvium should include both medical and psychological interventions to address the full spectrum of patient needs and improve overall outcomes.
