The emotional disturbance underlying alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and trichotillomania
Copyright policy )The emotional disturbance underlying alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and trichotillomania
A psychological study on fifteen children with diverse etiologies of hair loss, viz., alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and trichotillomania was conducted in order to assess the degree of underlying psychodynamics in children with hair loss. The results confirm the relationship of the underlying emotional disturbance to the hair loss. Further, it appears that the more severe the psychopathology of the individual, the greater is the hair loss and/or the clinical manifestation of trichotillomania.
