Some studies have found that people with hair loss are more likely to experience depression, and vice versa:
Depression and Hair LossA study of over 6 million people found that people with major depressive disorder have a 90% higher risk of developing hair loss, and people with hair loss have a 34% higher risk of developing major depressive disorder.
Hereditary BaldnessA study found that 52.4% of patients with hereditary baldness had higher levels of depression, and 18.2% of those patients said it had a moderate or greater effect on their lives. Other factors associated with higher depression levels included being female, younger in age, married, and having a lower income.
Adult Female Dermatology PatientsA study of 54% of adult female dermatology patients who reported hair loss found that 29% also experienced at least two key symptoms of depression, such as low mood, decreased interest in activities, and fatigue.
Hair loss can have a greater impact on women's emotional well-being and quality of life than men's because it's less socially acceptable for them. People with hair loss may experience low self-esteem, poor body image, and relationship and career issues.
Treatments for depression due to hair loss may include:
- Talk therapy
- Antidepressants
- Lifestyle changes, such as exercise, spending time with others, and setting realistic goals
- Psychological therapy
- Support groups

While male hair loss tends to affect the forehead or the crown of the head, female hair loss often leads to thinning on the top third to half of the scalp. Your part may gradually become wider, you might see more of your scalp when your hair is pulled back, or your ponytail could be less full.Sample Block Quote
