Alopecia Areata is a condition that causes sudden hair loss on the scalp, face, or body. While it isn't life-threatening, it can be emotionally challenging.
Emotional Impact of Hair Loss
Hair is closely tied to self-image and identity. Many people with alopecia experience:
Anxiety or social discomfort
Low self-esteem or body image concerns
Depression or emotional distress
Avoidance of social situations
Mental Health & Whole-Person Care
Stress can worsen hair loss and in turn can affect mental well-being. That’s why I focus on treating both the emotional and psychological impact of alopecia.
As a Family Medicine and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I provide:
Supportive therapy and coping strategies
Medication management (if needed)
A safe space to process your experience
