Dr. Li Qiang
Psychological factors that contribute to alopecia areata generally include excessive stress. If patients are under prolonged pressure from daily life or work, they are more likely to develop mental or psychological disorders, thereby increasing the risk of alopecia areata. Additionally, emotional stress is also considered a significant triggering factor for this condition.
