@Kristina_M I did not have hair loss after my diagnosis with depression, but after being depressed for some time, I began to eat poorly and also developed an eating disorder. My hair began to fall out and I had no energy, which was attributed to my poor diet. So sounds similar to what you say as malnorushmnet.

@gottgetbtr sorry to hear. Have you been eating better and have things gone back to somewhat normal?

@Kristina_M I go through phases, but I have not experienced much hair loss for some time... I still experience more than usual during showering, but it is not too the extent I am worried about it anymore.
I began to take biotin, vitamin C, and collagen, in addition to trying to eat better, but depending on the week - I may feel OK - which is like a great for me - and eat pretty normal; or I may be very depressed and have pain the next week and eat very poorly, even though I try to force myself to eat correctly or to even eat.
Like yesterday, I did not eat except a protein shake and some yogurt.

@whatistheissue unfortunately no. I went to the dermatologist and they said I have Telogen effluvium which is when a major life change (stress and in my case autoimmune diseases) causes the hair to go into a resting phase and the hair cycle stops only causing it to shed. Unfortunately the hair loss won’t stop until I get my disease under control and manage my stress/depression better.

I'm sorry to hear about your hair loss. Understandably, it's making you feel down, especially since it used to be something that made you feel confident. I can relate to that feeling. If you're looking for a potential solution, you might want to consider checking out Nova Medical Hair Transplant Florida.

Has anyone experienced severe hair loss after their diagnosis? My hair is falling out in the shower and after I brush it, more than ever. It is becoming so thin and lifeless. It is very depressing for me as I am so young and my hair used to be a great feature of mine and made me confident. Not anymore. I feel like these diseases are just stripping me from everything that was once mine. I went to a dermatologist and they said it is basically from malnourishment and stress, so there’s really no treatment until I get my disease and stress under control. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
