Support Groups |
| Experiencing hair loss is not only a physical disturbance,
it is often accompanied by a plethora of bad feelings, such as anger, depression,
loneliness and confusion. |

What Can Be Done?
One thing that could possibly help the emotional aspect of alopecia is going
to a live support group. A support group can offer emotional and social support,
opportunities for people to discuss common experiences, lectures and workshops
among other things.
