Avatar n tn use that minoxidil if you are satisfied with that , mean while start using finasteride 1mg tablets this blocks DHT in your hair , which causes hair loss mostly...use multivitamins tablets should include biotin and zinc also...
2010625 tn?1329372056 Stress definitely causes hair loss. I have been taking Biotin 5000 mcg 1 tablet daily (from a healthfood store) for a few months for this. It really helps.
Avatar n tn If your thyroid is not working properly it not only causes hair loss but depression! I wish you all the best and take care.
Avatar m tn I am in a "depression class" (thanks Kaiser), and they say memory loss is very common with depression. With all the physical problems & meds to deal with them, who wouldn't be depressed????? I started on anti-depressants after 3 years sober, still very very depressed. It helps for a while, then stopped. I realize my entire life I have been depressed, and now have Fibromyalgia, and take Wellbutrin for that.
Avatar n tn ve looked at several medication blog sites and have seen numerous posts of women reporting hair loss from anti-depressants including Wellbutrin so I was really questioning the validity of the "less than 1%" finding from the Wellbutrin trials.
Avatar n tn I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist for this as it is important to rule out all the causes of hair loss and reach a confirmatoty diagnosis.Treatment is specific for that diagnosis.Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
Avatar m tn Hello, Stress can be one of the causes for hair loss. Other than that alopecia aereta should be ruled out. The causes for excessive hair fall may be physiological or pathological and include hormonal changes, fungal infection, physical effects (traction, heat, chemicals), psychological & stress-related reasons, thyroid disorders, iron deficiency anemia, excessive intake of Vitamin A, hereditary reasons etc.
Avatar m tn What causes memory loss for depression, stress or something? By neuron cell breakdown?
Avatar f tn While not as common, severe deficiency might contribute to hair loss or hair thinning. Impaired Immune Function: Vitamin D is essential for a healthy immune system. Its deficiency may lead to increased susceptibility to infections and illnesses. It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional if you suspect you might have a vitamin D deficiency, as they can provide proper guidance and recommend suitable supplements or dietary changes.
Avatar m tn High chromium indicates the loss of chromium through hair. it can be due to mineral imbalance. Biounavailabilty of chromium usually indicates a disrupted cell renewal process leading to subsequent hair loss. It also indicates depleted energy levels. Manganese: This indicates manganese toxicity possibly du to drinking water contamination. This might lead to iron deficiency in future. Usage of hair dyes also gives a false indication of high manganese content.
Avatar m tn hiya hunni, im pretty sure there is no link between hair loss and masturbation, because wouldnt that mean that sex causes hair loss? you dont say whether your a girl or boy but im thinking ur a boy. u also dont say if you've been to the doctors. stress can cause hair loss so i hope your not stressing yourself out? because that can cause anxiety which is really nasty.
Avatar f tn For some reason the immune system attacks the hair follicles and destroys them which is what leads to the hair loss. My best friend has it and she has no hair anywhere! Not really sure if it is thyroid realated but I don't think so. With the thyroid you do lose hair but not leading to baldness.

Hair loss can also be due to dandruff, dermatitis, shampoos, oils, soaps, dust and dirt etc. Thyroid disorders (ruled out in your case) and diabetes too could be a cause. Insomnia, stress and anxiety along with poor diet and excess of caffeine too can be the cause. Get hemoglobin and iron level and blood sugar tested. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn I take Evening Primrose Oil, which does not stop hair loss but nourishes the hair and helps soften it.... as hypothyroidism causes your hair to become dry brittle and break. I also take 5,000 of biotin each day. I was taking the capsules and there was no improvement after 6 months. My dermatologist told me to take Matrix 5,000 from Amazon. She said that the tablets are better absorbed by most people, so I am trying that now.
Avatar n tn Hun, Get a different doc, you know, they are just ppl, and, as ppl, some are *sses, and some are not, Please have them do thyroid check!! Thyroid problems will cause depression, weight gain (or loss) as well as HAIR LOSS, i had a circular patch oh top of my head, and doc decided to check my thyroid, now i on synthroid, and hair grew back, emotions under control..
Avatar n tn However, a couple of years ago I was on a variety of medications including Zoloft, Xanax, Trazadone and Clonapin and noticed the hair loss. I went from having thick hair to very thin and brittle. My hair is finally starting to thicken up. Has your doctor said anything about the combination of medication that you may be taking? Best of luck to you.
Avatar f tn There may be other causes of hair fall such as, age, thyroid problems, diabetes or lupus. Other causes are a low protein diet, a family history or poor nutrition. Drugs such for chemotherapy may also cause this. Each of these cause may need further evaluation as to the probability of the causation. A dermatologist may be able to help you further. let me know if you may need more information.
