  1. One fact that is clearly known is that there is a connection between an individual’s mental and physical health. Mental health can definitely affect your physical well-being, and vice versa. For example, if you are under stress of any kind, you may start losing weight, while also affecting your skin and under-eyes. One question that arises here is whether stress also affects the health of one’s hair. This article will explore the possibility about depression being a reason for hair loss, and if so, then why. Can depression cause hair loss? Hair loss symptoms – When we speak of hair loss, we are not only referring to going bald, but also many other symptoms like hairline recession and hair thinning. No matter what kind of hair loss, but when the hair follicle is affected, it becomes inflamed. This eventually develops into miniaturization, which is a process that results in lack of blood flow and poor hair growth.

  2. Depression and hair loss – Now, coming to depression, it may or may not be a direct cause of hair loss, but it may trigger a condition known as Telogen Effluvium (TE). This occurs when the hair growth cycle prematurely ends, and the hair enters the final phase of growth. This leads to hair thinning, and recession mainly at the forehead and temples; sometimes even causing bald patches on the scalp. Antidepressants and hair loss – Not only can depression cause one to lose out on his/her hair, but the antidepressant medications can further trigger the condition! Antidepressants are those medications that work to bring the brain’s chemistry back into balance; so you can imagine the strength of the chemicals present within them. With such strong chemicals present, it is obvious that these medicines may have side effects on the body; and one of them is hair loss. Can lost hair be re-grown? One of the very good news for people suffering from hair loss is that your hair can be brought back to where it has been robbed off from! There is one particular procedure that has proven to be a boon for all those hair-loss patients, which is known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. In this therapy, blood is drawn from the patient’s arm and put into a centrifuge, where it is separated into three different layers – platelet-rich plasma, platelet- poor plasma, and red blood cells. Out of the three, the platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into the syringe, which is then injected into the scalp areas that require hair growth. The platelet-rich plasma contains many growth factors that can stimulate the growth of hair follicles. The best part about PRP is that the blood is taken from the patient’s body itself, which means almost zero risk of infections involved. While you may start noticing hair growth after the first session of the PRP therapy, you may need a series of sessions within 3-4 months of initial procedure for the best results. Also, you will need routine maintenance scheduled regularly for the following one year to keep a check on your progress. The best place you can be for growth factors & PRP for hair regrowth in Mumbaiis at Dr. Marwah’s Clinic, where you will be treated by experienced professionals, while also being given scheduled appointments for regular checkups and follow-ups.
