can anxiety cause hair loss?

[topback]

IMO no. but the actual process of miniaturization over many hair cycles will happen regardless.

What if you're creating an enhanced sensitivity to dht with poor health, chronic stress, or illness?

In theory you could start balding at twenty when it could have been forty instead.

I started balding at 16 and reached a slick NW5 at 22. Thank you for assuming it was my fault.

This is pure nonsense. Stress has no influence on male pattern baldness, at all.

Twins always bald at the same rate. Are you saying they stress at the same time? Eat poorly at the same time? Get ill at the same time?

Stop blaming hair loss sufferers for their condition. It's 100% genetic and that's not even up for debate.

Idk about you but I feel sick and shitty all the time and I'm getting checked by a doctor and I think it contributed to my hair loss. My friend said his entire moms side started balding in their 20s and he has a perfect hairline. All my relatives and grandparents have hair but I have a bald dad and one bald uncle.

Well you think wrong. Again, why would you put this on us? We don't need that sh*t, it's already hard enough like this.

You're just trying to reassure yourself, you want to think maybe you have a way out if you stop being depressed.

Ain't gonna happen. Don't stay in the denial phase too long, as it can cost you a lot of hair that you will never get back.

I have a physical disability not depression. And I'm hoping that treating it will stop more hair loss and help me respond better to treatments.

It won't. It has nothing to do with your hair loss which is in 99.9% of cases 100% genetic.

Then why does everyone say mpb is related to health. Your hair situation sucks but I'm not saying its your personal fault.

[fred970]

No one says that! Quite the opposite in fact.

Male pattern baldness really has nothing to do with your health. It just depends on your genes with which you are born with.

[topback]

Oh maybe its just me then. I even knew one guy that said his hairline started receding and he got a really bad surgery and it made him thin like crazy because of the impact of the surgery.

It would have thinned without the surgery.

I think the point here is being missed. Chronic stress emotional or physical CAN cause hair loss... it's not about your ability to lose it, it's your inability to grow it back. Any physiological stress significant enough can cause TE. I've literally had this 3 times. I LOST 300 HAIRS A DAY. Did I go completely bald, no... but it sure as hell threw me five years into the future because of my inability to grow it back, especially in the MPB prone areas. A girl I dated last year had just had a baby (not mine)... she also had TE (very common after pregnancy), like clock work, 3 months after was losing TONS of hair... but after two months, she had all these short 2 inch hairs growing out of her hair line like a pea****. So, Fred's right, it would have thinned without a surgery, it just thins MUCH quicker with one.

I don't know why BTT just edited the pea****... as in the bird. haha
