The purpose of the work is to study the features of cognitive functioning of patients with different types of alopecia, to understand the targets of medical and psychological rehabilitation of this contingent.

The study included 153 women diagnosed with diffuse alopecia. Depending on the state of the mental sphere and the genesis of alopecia, 6 subgroups were formed: patients with metabolic alopecia without signs of maladaptation-G1-1 (30 patients), with metabolic alopecia with individual signs of maladaptation (risk group)-G1-2 (9), with metabolic alopecia and the presence of adaptation disorders-G1-3 (6 patients), with mixed alopecia without signs of maladaptation-G2-1 (15 patients), with mixed alopecia with separate signs of maladaptation (risk group)-G2-2 (64) and with mixed adaptation and adaptation disorders-G2-3 (29 patients).

Affection of patients with alopecia by disorders of cognitive functioning is significant, and more significant in patients with mixed alopecia.

In both metabolic and mixed alopecia patients, cognitive impairment was more often detected in patients with adaptation disorders, and less often in patients at risk and without signs of PD. At the same time, the patterns of cognitive impairment in alopecia are complex, nonlinear, and require further study

Prospects for further research are related to the search for connections between cognitive impairment in different forms of alopecia with various clinical and psychosocial factors, as well as the development of personalized measures to correct cognitive impairment in the structure of medical and psychological rehabilitation of patients with alopecia.
