Can stress cause hair to thin/fall out, what supplements can I take to help?

Telogen Effluvium occurs when sudden or severe stress causes an increase in the shedding of the hair. In Telogen effluvium a sudden or stressful event can cause the hair follicles to prematurely stop growing and enter into a resting phase. The hair will then stay in the resting phase for about 3 months after which time a large amount of hair will be shed. Often the person involved will have recovered from the event before the hair loss occurs. In most cases the hair loss is temporary and the hair soon recovers. However in some cases the hair loss continues until the underlying cause is fixed. Telogen Effluvium appears to affect more women than men because more of the precipitating event such as childbirth are experienced by women.

Temporary hair loss can be caused by:

Child Birth

Pregnancy Termination閳ユ獨

Starting or Stopping Birth Control Pills

Dieting Drug

Therapy

Severe Emotional Stress

Yes, although my Doctor disagreed with me on this. I had 3 bald patches on my head (and I am woman) thankfully I could hide them. Anyway, he prescribed me with Clobetasol Propionate Topical Soulution USP, 0.05% this worked wonders.... just rub it on the bald area twice a day I believe it only took about 30 days for my hair to grow back. Good luck to you
