What Causes Itchy Scalp While Suffering From Depression?

I have been loosing my hair and have severe itching of the scalp and different areas of the body. I have been on prescriptions for depression for the past 3 and a half years. I reviewed your writing regarding autoimmune disease and trichotillomania. Can these be related to my issues and if so what is the best way to follow up with this?
