Does Depression Cause Hair Loss?
The current research on the link between depression and hair loss is minimal. Many reports suggest that hair loss is typically seen as a symptom of depression. However, this is not actually true. Instead, hair loss tends to be a secondary symptom related to treatments or triggers of depression. Studies have shown that there is a strong association between hair loss and depression in people with high levels of stress. In contrast, hair thinning or balding may result in depressive symptoms as well. This may eventually trigger a vicious cycle that has damaging effects on your overall well-being. [2]
