Core Tip	This study investigates the impact of mental stress on neurotrophic factors in patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and its correlation with AGA progression. Findings reveal that patients experiencing psychological stress have elevated serum cortisol levels and altered neurotrophic factor profiles, including reduced nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor. The stress group also exhibited more severe AGA progression despite treatment. These results highlight the need for integrated management approaches that address both physiological and psychological aspects of AGA to improve treatment outcomes.
