Where this comes from

Abstract

Effective hair loss counseling requires an understanding of patients' experiences and how they are impacted by race, ethnicity, culture, resource accessibility, and mental health. Clear communication and expectation management are critical. Physicians can empower patients through validating patient attitudes and engaging in shared decision-making to offer treatment, support, or camouflage.
