Hair Loss Support from Health Care Providers
- Doctors may fail to accept hair loss as an important medical problem.
- Real distress suffered by those affected may be dismissed
- Physicians who demonstrate compassionate and supportive attitudes toward hair loss are more effective in treatment, as patients are more inclined to volunteer personal information.
- Difficult for patients to admit to hair-pulling disorders such as Trichotillomania.
- Hair loss and baldness may be undetectable if physicians neglect to ask relevant questions.
