The Emotional Impact of Alopecia on You

Hi all. :-)

I'm considering making an informational video about handling the emotional impact of alopecia (I've had several clients ask for one).

If you were talking to someone who has just been diagnosed with alopecia, what advice would you give them to help them handle the emotional impact?

Emotionally-speaking, what surprised you the most about alopecia?

Thanks in advance!

Warmly,

Tim

I think your situation is different than most. You are dealing with somebody elses feelings and emotions, and if that isnt bad enough, its a small child.
I would think the first step is for you to make contact with other parents. Initally on this site and hopefully with in driving distance, this will help you and give you support as well as your little girl. The main thing you can do for your daughter is give her lots of hugs and make sure she knows it is not her fault, this has happened.
I wish I could be of use to you, but I have no advice except try your best to find a parent support group. Post in as many groups on here as you can, somebody will be able to help. I wish you all the very best.
