Is hair loss affecting your mental health?
People who experience hair loss have a higher chance to develop some kind of psychological distress than those who don’t. Hair loss has been proven to cause emotional suffering, which leads to lowered self confidence and new insecurities. This can cause problems in someone’s personal life, professional career, and social dynamics.
Here are some symptoms from could indicate that hair loss has impacted your mental well-being:
Depression
Depression can come in the form of anything from feeling down, lack of interest in things you used to like, insomnia, low energy, questioning your own worth, and many other indicators. It can range from mild negative thoughts to noticeable problems in your day to day activities.
Anxiety
This can lead to excessive or even compulsive worrying without being able to control feelings which may be heightened. People who become anxious from hair loss live in a state of heightened tension which can lead to physical symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, and heart palpitations.
Social Anxiety
If you’ve experienced hair loss and are worried that people will judge your appearance negatively, you are probably feeling social anxiety. It’s normal for people who have gone through hair loss to be anxious about their appearance. The important thing is to not let it impact your life.
Confidence and Self Esteem Issues
Research has shown that people who have lost some or all of their hair have higher levels of depression and anxiety. Their self confidence and self esteem is also lower and generally they experience a lower quality of life. Loss of eyebrows and eyelashes can also lead to issues of identity.
