Rapidly losing hair on middle front scalp due to antipsychotic usage and antidepressant usage. would application of micronazole fix it? is it fungus?

First: talk To your doctor about other causes. To my knowledge hair loss would be a rare side effect only with antidepressants and antipsychotics. Please explore a more common cause first which will dictate a different approach to treatment.
