A member asked:
Can stress & anxiety cause hair loss in areas all over your body? some areas are small spots other areas are fairly large- does it also slow regrowth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Alopecia areata or patchy hair loss has anxiety as one of the triggers. Definitely would consult a dermatologist and look at any other causes-- i.e. Hypothyroidism, other medications, other medical causes.
