Can some one help me find out why I've been losing hair?

I've been losing chunks of hair in the shower for a month or two. I don't know if this is one of the symptoms but my hair has been really oil and I have to wash it more often with shampoo. I cant get to the doctor because I just move a few days ago.

other info:
14, female
105 Ibs
diagnose with ADHD PTSD anxiety
and light Schizophrenia  

If you need more info just ask

Hello~I agree with the other poster's answer, it may be a reaction to any meds you may be on, asking the pharmacist is a good place to start for answers. If meds are not the case, then I am strongly thinking you may have a thyroid condition, this will certainly cause the hair to fall out as well.

You say you are 14, well, at this age, the hormones are all over the place, so, this could also be due to fluctuating hormones.

If you are on medications, check the side effects - call a pharmacist if you don't have access to that information.  Certain medications can cause hair loss.  That's a good place to start.
