In reply to Hair loss due to depression, not meds?, posted by TomV on November 21, 2000, at 9:51:34
I had terrible hair loss during many years. I was also depressed (i'm still depressed). My hair loss stopped when i did psychotherapy in which i experienced a powerful transfert (see psychoanalysis theory). This experience of the transfert was the solution for me.

> I began to think about the pattern of my hair loss (moderate thinning on top) and realized that it all began when my depression and anxiety started to really get bad. Up until then my hair loss was very mild. My question is; could the stress from depression (and other stress factors in my life) be the cause of my hair loss? This hair loss precipitates my taking any meds so I'm pretty sure its not related to any med (which I've taken plenty of), and I currently take no meds. I wonder if I got my depression under control (and hence, the most major stress factor in my life) that my hair will begin growing again? Has anyone elese experienced something like this (hair regrowth , non med related response to depression subsiding?).
