Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder, affects approximately 1 out of every 500 to 1,000 individuals in the United States.

In this disorder, hair falls out in small patches, creating a bald spot.

These patches or bald spots can sometimes widen in size and may affect your confidence.

A lack of confidence can make you feel stressed, disheartened, and anxious. 

These feelings may also aggravate this autoimmune condition.

So the best practice for this situation is stress management which might help you regain control, and boost your self-esteem. 

This article will discuss some effective stress management techniques that can aid in dealing with the emotional and physical stressors of Alop\u00e9cie<\/a> Areata.<\/p>\n\n\n

Can stress cause Alopecia Areata<\/h2>\n\n\n

According to the National Institute of Aging, hair loss, formally known as Alopecia, is associated<\/a> with chronic stress. 

But the exact mechanism of how stress provoque la perte de cheveux<\/a> is yet to be found.

As per a study<\/a>, physical and psychological stress is often associated with the development of autoimmune disease.

Thus, it can be assumed that Alop\u00e9cie areata<\/a>, also an autoimmune disorder, may worsen due to chronic stress.

Moreover, Mayo Clinic, a renowned nonprofit American academic medical center<\/a>, states that stress can possibly cause this disorder.

But a study<\/a> on whether Alopecia Areata can be triggered by emotional stress found different results.

A total of 178 patients with severe Alop\u00e9cie areata<\/a> were evaluated. 

Twelve patients (6.7%) reported a severely disturbing event during the six months preceding the first symptoms of their disease. 

No patient reported that episodes of hair loss coincided with stressful<\/a> life events. 

Thus, the study concluded that emotional stress has no significant role in the development or worsening of Alopecia Areata.

But as the study was conducted on a smaller scale with only 178 people, we can not rule out the possibility of stress as a risk factor for Alopecia Areata.<\/p>\n\n\n
