Hair loss: Hair loss or thinning hair can be genetically predisposing, or it can be related to underlying conditions such as thyroid disease. the other major factor can be stress. I am so glad to hear you are no longer anorexic. Get an evaluation and if you have any stress get that evaluated and treated too. best wishes.
