Introduction.
Alopecia areata is one of the commonest causes of nonscarring alopecia.
Since hair is a vital part with very high cosmetic concern, hair loss might have a significant negative impact on patient’s life.
Hence, we aimed this to investigate depression and anxiety in patients with alopecia areata.
Methods.
In this cross-sectional study, a total of 75 consecutive eligible patients of alopecia areata were interviewed over one-year period in the dermatology outpatient department.
We recorded the relevant history and examination details in the present proforma.
Nepali versions of Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory were used for the assessment of depression and anxiety, respectively.
Data analysis was done with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 11.5.
Results.
Among 75 patients, the prevalence of depression and anxiety were 66.7% and 73.3%, respectively, with median depression score = 5 (IQR = 0.0–10.0) and median anxiety score = 5 (IQR = 0.0–11.0).
Out of all depressed patients, 82.0% had minimal and 18.0% had moderate depression.
However, none of them had severe depression.
Likewise, out of all patients with anxiety, 89.0% had mild and 11.0% had moderate anxiety, but none of them had severe anxiety.
Conclusion.
Anxiety and depression are common psychological problems in patients with alopecia areata.
Because of their direct impact on treatment outcome, we, treating dermatologist, must be aware of them, and we should counsel our patients for consultation with the psychiatrist on time for their maximum benefit.
