Alopecia, Teens and Mental Health
Research suggests that individuals living with Alopecia may be at higher risk of experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. Knowing the signs, how to start a conversation and where you can get support can change the lives of young people going through hard times. That’s why we’ve created this information sheet for parents, family and guardians of teens with alopecia.
Coping with Alopecia Areata
Based on two studies conducted in 2013, this brochure aims to help individuals to accept and cope with changes that result from a diagnosis of Alopecia Areata. It highlights some key coping strategies to consider and where you can seek support.
