Anxiety caused by hair loss 'can make condition worse'
Published: 25th of January 2010
The stress caused by hair loss can exacerbate the medical condition, it has been claimed.According to psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos, hair is bound up in notions of femininity, youth and sexual attractiveness in Western culture, the Daily Mail reports.
She added: "Because a woman's hair plays a big part in value judgments made about youth and attractiveness, the experience of thinning hair is bound to be anxiety provoking."
Meanwhile, trichologist Sara Allison suggested that women today lead more emotionally stressful lives, which can cause their hair to fall out.
Also, the pressure on females to remain thin means they can suffer nutritional deficiencies which causes the health of their hair to suffer, she went on to claim.
In their new book entitled So Stressed, authors Stephanie McClellan and Beth Hamilton point out that too much stress suffered by both men and women can cause the loss of hair, ABC reported.
