Hair is the most appearing and noticeable part of the body. It is a very important part for the psychologically healthy development of the individual from childhood to adulthood and even death. Alopecia is a disease that should be evaluated with its psychiatric dimensions. Having a diagnosis of alopecia at a young age, especially in children and adolescents, increases the risk in terms of psychiatric diseases. Mental disorders related to alopecia manifest themselves with many different psychiatric symptoms. However, many psychiatric disorders can also cause hair loss. The basis of psychosomatization of patients with alopecia who usually present to the dermatology outpatient clinic should be investigated and referred to a psychiatrist for appropriate psychotherapy or psychopharmacotherapy.
