Is Suffering from Hair Loss purely a psychological/mental suffering???

No. It's rooted in the physical and has physical implications.

The one's who are devastated the most are those who start balding in their teens. It hits them hard socially, in their most important years of their young life, friends make fun of them in what seems like an endearing way to the friend, but it is hurtful at the end of the day to the balding person. Every body mentioning that your hair is falling, will take its toll on you. You can one day just say, you know what, i'm going to shave and forget about it. Then you go out with your shaved head and one negative comment some one makes will destroy you.

So I don't blame the balding person for mentally suffering, I blame society and how they treat balding teens/men who are not a celebrity/athlete.

Not saying that older men can not be devastated by this disease, but if it happens to you when you are older, you are able to take it slightly better because you are possibly married and already had all the fun you were going to have. When it happens before your real life even starts, it is definitely physically scarring.
