Suggest Treatment For Depression
Hi Doctor, Im feeling so depressed now for the last 3 days. Im 19 years old and i have struggled with this for about 7 years...
My hair has been going for years now but very slowly, The last 3 days i have just got so depressed about it! i hate this how im feeling. I dont feel like i can talk to anyone because i dont want to bring attention to it. I have wanted a hair transplant for years and years but i cant see myself ever finding that kind of money. Im not the type of person to feel sorry for myself and if i ever have problems i deal with them and just say get over it but with my hair its the 1 thing i cant except! i really dont want to lose it and i know how bad this sounds but if i do lose it i dont know if i want to live my life. I have lack of confidence because of it. All i want is to hair a full head of hair. I dont know how many years im gonna have hair left for. Last year and the years before i was able to cover up the receeding hair lines with my hair but now i cant do that... Its to obvious im losing it. I just dont want it gone. Last week i quit smoking which is fine! im not having problems at all. And i keep thinking maybe im depressed because i have given up the smoke but no! I know its not that, Giving up smoking was almost easy... I found just get on with it and stop moaning. See thats my attitude to things- Just except it and get on with it. I never make big deal out of things. But with my hair its a huge issue for me! I dont want to be talked out of having a hair transplant but rather i just want someone to tell me how to deal with it or just make me stop feeling this way. I hate feeling depressed. I dont even go out the house now hardly at all because of my hair loss. Please can you help me,
Thanks
Sean

I went through your details. Please understand the difference between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also shows symptoms identical to depression but last fewer days.You are currently undergoing the disappointment phase due to the hair fall issue you are facing. If you worry about it, the hair loss problem will worsen. Anxiety, stress worsens hair fall problems. The best thing you can do now is to consult a skin specialist and get treatment for hair fall. Do not spend money on fake medicines.

Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. In spite of many negatives, you show some positive attitudes. Quitting smoking is one. You are not much worried is the second. But why so worried about your hair loss? Baldness is usually uncurable. There are no medicines available to help you regrwo hair follicles. Therefore, efforts towards that direction is waste. You must understand that. You have met dermatologist and had medicines and lotions which did not provide any cure. Now, you should gracefully accept your present condition and adjust with it. Otherwise, if you worry and get stressed, your hair fall will be much more rapid than you expect.
