Stress could cause hair loss. If you're not eating right, you could be losing hair due to malnutrition also.

If someone coud solve your problem, they could become very rich. it seems from what I have read about it, that testosterone is converted to another more potent hormone which at first they thought built up around the hair folicle and kept the blood supply away, now it seems they have decided it causes inflamation around the hair folicle and the inflammation is the cause of the hair falling out, if you use an immune system suppressing drug, your hair will grow back, but in doing so, it is very dangerous to mess with immune system suppressing drugs. it appears your immune system is responsible for your loss of hair. most people aren't aware that all steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol, lowering your cholesterol may help slow the process of hair falling out. less cholesterol to make testosterone less to make dht which irritates scalp and causes inflammation. in other words, there isn't much you can do about it.

I don't think that's normal.  All the older girls I know have a full head of hair.  Some of them may turn white but they don't lose hair other than your normal hairfall in the shower.  You may have alopecia. Or it could be a symptom of something else. Go check with your doctor.

There are definite changes in the way the brain works when a person is depressed:\n\n1. Modern brain scans that can look at how 'hard' the brain is working have shown that some areas of the brain (such as at the front) are not working as well as normal.\n\n2. Depressed patients have higher than normal levels of stress hormones.\n\n3. Various chemical systems in the brain may not be working correctly including one known as the serotonin or 5-HT system.\n\nAntidepressants may help to reverse these changes. Unfortunately there is no brain scan or blood test that can be used to diagnose when a person has a depressive illness. The diagnosis can only be made from the symptoms. Generally speaking a diagnosis of depression will be made if a person has a persistently low mood that significantly influences their everyday life and has been present for two weeks or more, and there are also three or four or more other symptoms of depression. \n\nStress can lead to you to feeling 'down' and 'miserable'. What is different about a depressive illness is that these feelings last for weeks or months, rather than days. In addition to feeling low most or all of the time, many other symptoms can occur in depressive illness (though not everybody has every one). These include:\n\n-Being unable to gain pleasure from activities that normally would be pleasurable.\n-Losing interest in normal activities, hobbies and everyday life.\n-Feeling tired all of the time and having no energy.\n-Difficulty sleeping or waking early in the morning (though some feel that they can't get out of bed and 'face the world').\n-Having a poor appetite, no interest in food and losing weight (though some people overeat and put on weight - 'comfort eating').\n-Losing interest in sex.\n-Finding it difficult to concentrate and think straight.\n-Feeling restless, tense and anxious.\n-Being irritable.\n-Losing self-confidence.\n-Avoiding other people.\n-Finding it harder than usual to make decisions.\n-Feeling useless and inadequate - 'a waste of space'.\n-Feeling guilty about who you are and what you have done.\n-Feeling hopeless - that nothing will make things better.\n-Thinking about suicide - this is very common. If you feel this way, talk to somebody about it. If you think somebody else might be thinking this way, ask them about it - IT WILL NOT MAKE THEM MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT SUICIDE.\n\nWhat causes depression?\n\n-We do not fully understand the causes of depression.\n-Genes or early life experiences may make some people vulnerable.\n-Stressful life events, such as losing a job or a relationship ending, may trigger an episode of depression.\n-Depression can be triggered by some physical illnesses, drug treatments and recreational drugs.

Sunlight will help in the process, as well as vitamin E supplements. A good multi mega vitamin will assure you that you are getting what you need. Also, regular brushing will help in this matter. If your hair continues to fall out more than normal, I would consult your doctor about a regimen that you could try to restore the loss.

Your question is not clear but if you are asking what you can do to keep your hair from falling out then try some vitamins. There are plenty of products designed just for thinning hair (go to a health food store and see). Hair loss is caused by many things. I think stress and disease are the top two reasons. Find out why it's happening first and foremost, then try vitamins and/or topical solutions combined with massaging of the scalp daily.

Believe it or not, I have headr such a thing myself. It is not true. Constantly covering one's hair does not make one's hair fall out and more or less.\nMale pattern baldness, on the other hand, is the usual culprit.

Other than your hair line how do you feel? If your feeling great about not eating meat,don't. Get a supplement for your diet. Sometimes hair receding hair lines are hereditary.

It is helpful. As with alot of mental disablities depression can come and go easy. So you may be able to take someone and 'cheer them up.' and than as soon as your drop them off they are meloncholy again.

no, but you can sell it if you collect it in plastic bags.\n\nIs your question about not having your hair get thin and fall out?

you lose 100 hairs a day.  usually, they are not noticed but with longer hair it shows up easier.  try getting a trim to remove split ends.  this will help prevent breakage.\n\np.s.  the more hair you lose, the head you get!

I'm sure it does.  Anorexia also causes problems with the rest of your body.  Hair becomes brittle and falls out, heart failure may occur and your body starts to shut down because there's no nourishment.

No one admits to it - depression is still considered a sign of weakness. It's unfortunate. I take antidepressants but I'm not a celebrity. :)

You may have a chemical inbalance in your brain that causes this to happen.  Make an appt with your doctor or a counselor and you may need to take anti-depressants.\n\nBy the way, this is not your fault and you can't just snap out of it, like many people will often say to people that are depressed.  You just need to get the chemical inbalance corrected.

From what I've heard, yes, too much stress can lead to your hair turning gray.
