A National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) study revealed that people with chronic medical conditions, such as alopecia areata, are at higher risk of developing depression than people who don’t experience serious health issues.

Though the symptoms of alopecia areata typically do not cause physical pain, many people with the condition say that it causes emotional, or psychological, pain. This type of pain is as serious (and can feel the same) as physical pain and can lead to feelings of sadness, depression, and anxiety.
