Could extreme stress make one's hair fall out?

Question

My hair is thinning.

I have three important assignments to do for school; I haven't touched my books since LAST november. Each time I think about the work, I get a panic attack. This work that has piled up is rather debilitating on my livelihood. I want to finish it, but I just can't because I'm too scared. The content isn't even difficult, it's just that, well, I don't know how to describe it. I guess I've become nervous and apathetic.

So, knowing this, could my hair fall out as a result of this?

Answer 1

Yes. That happened to me a couple years ago. I was really stressed out and i left hair everywhere i went. I got blood work done and there was no other reason for it than stress. I started using fortifying shampoo to make it stronger and it did help. But if you're losing a lot of hair you should get checked out by a doctor anyway. It could be more serious like a thyroid problem or something, just to use an example.

Just try to relax a little bit each day if it is the stress thing though.

Hope this helped! Good Luck with your assignments.

Answer 4

i think so. I have noticed that when i seam stressed my hair falls out easily. I know the feeling of not wanting to face your situation. Your anxiety just gets way out of hand. I guess you just need to tell yourself that you can do only what you can and try your best. What is it that you are so afraid of?

Answer 5

Pregnancy is more likely, and should come back if not hereditary.
