The WHO defines Quality of Life (QoL) as a broad concept of 'an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns'. 1 Health-related quality of life (hrQoL) is a more focused, multidimensional concept relevant to a person's health. Definitions differ, but the considered domains usually encompass the 'physical, role functioning, social, and psychological aspects of well-being and functioning'. This includes objective as well as subjective perspectives on all dimensions. 2,3 Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune-mediated disorder characterized by partial or complete non-scarring hair loss whose stigmatizing effect may have a severe psychosocial impact on the affected. The prevalence of AA in children and adolescents is estimated at 1.83% (95% CI: [1.21-2.58]) which is significantly higher than in adults. 4 AA has been shown to be correlated with bullying, poor QoL and psychiatric comorbidities such as clinical depression and anxiety disorders. [5][6][7][8] Whilst the evidence of the effect of AA on QoL in adult patients has been systematically reviewed and found to be detrimental, 6,7,9 to the best of our knowledge until now no summary of the available evidence has been performed in the

Alopecia areata is a disorder with an estimated lifetime risk of 1 to 2%. The prevalence is the highest in the age group of 10 to 25 years. The exact aetiopathogenesis of alopecia areata is not precisely known, however, some factors that seem to play an important role in the development of the condition include autoimmune processes, stress or genetic vulnerability. Also, alopecia areata often coexists with depressive or anxiety disorders. The clinical presentation of alopecia areata includes sharply demarcated patches of hair loss, though the skin remains otherwise unaffected by any pathological changes. The severity of the condition varies greatly, and symptoms may range from isolated areas of hair loss on the scalp to total hair loss of the scalp -or even total loss of body hair. The most important differential diagnosis to consider in patients with suspected alopecia areata is androgenetic alopecia, i.e. the most common form of hair loss. The course of alopecia areata remains difficult to predict. In the majority of cases, the hair grows back spontaneously, but relapses are common. Treatment involves a variety of drugs, mainly immunomodulatory agents -either the types generating an allergic reaction or producing immunosuppressive effects. There are, however, no established treatment regimens for alopecia areata. It is worthwhile to note that antidepressants and non-pharmacologic interventions such as psychotherapy are also frequently used for treatment. Patients with alopecia areata often experience an impaired quality of life secondary to the disease. This fact, combined with the potential contribution of stress to the development of the condition, seems important from the viewpoint of considering psychological support in this group of patients.
