These can include problem-solving, seeking social support, engaging in physical activity, or practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques. For example, someone dealing with alopecia might use coping strategies like joining support groups, using wigs or head coverings, or focusing on positive self-talk to handle the emotional impact of hair loss.
