Abstract in brief
- The study explored how young men aged 18-30 cope with androgenetic alopecia, identifying three coping strategies: compensation, avoidance, and acceptance, with acceptance being linked to lower psychological distress.
- Psychological distress was not dependent on age or stage of hair loss, but those using compensation and avoidance strategies experienced higher distress, questioning their effectiveness.
- Acceptance served as a beneficial coping style, reducing distress and decreasing the likelihood of seeking medical help, highlighting its adaptive role in managing irreversible hair loss.]
