dc.description.abstractBackground/Objective Alopecia areata (AA) is a skin disease characterized by sudden-onset hair loss. The relationship between psychiatric status and AA has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate emotion dysregulation, somatization, depression, and anxiety levels in children and adolescents with AA. Methods The study included 27 patients aged 8-18 years diagnosed with AA, and an age and gender-matched control group consisting of 30 cases without a known chronic medical disease. All individuals were screened for existing psychiatric illnesses by a pediatric psychiatrist through the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). The patients were then evaluated using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-C), and Children Somatization Inventory (CSI-24). In addition, the patients' parents were asked to complete the Emotion Regulation Checklist-Family Form (ERC). Results When comparing the scale scores of the AA and control group, there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the Emotional Lability/Negativity subscale scores on ERC. K-SADSPL ratios denoted features of at least one psychiatric condition in 62.9% and 16.6% of the AA group and control group, respectively. Conclusions Our results emphasize the importance of psychiatric evaluation in patients with AA. Our study also reveals the need for further studies with a larger sample of AA patients being evaluated in terms of emotion regulation.en_US
