Severe Anxiety Destroying Hair!
I'm a 26 year old female, who has severe anxiety.
I've normally always been an anxious person but last year when going off birth control pill my hair started to excessively shed and its been a nightmare ever since.
I'm now back on the pill and the shedding still continues.
Does anxiety cause hair loss? I know we shed 50-100 a day but seeing my hair just fall out is causing severe panic attacks.
Everything says get over it but I can't.
I'm not taking any medication for my anxiety and I'm back on the pill Diane 35.

I have diagnosed panic disorder, and I am sure I have GAD as well. It definitely could be because of anxiety, as I think that is one of the symptoms. It would be interesting to see if you can sort of measure your hair loss on weeks/days that you feel ok and ones where you feel very anxious. I know most of mine comes out in the shower.
No my iron is spot on! Are you anxious? I'm thinking my hair shedding may be because of my severe anxiety? Its such a curse feeling this way :(
