#7 Trichotillomania
While stress is frequently a temporary cause of hair loss, excessive distress or anxiety might well be related to trichotillomania, a hair-pulling condition. This mental health problem, according to researchers, is connected to OCD and other forms of anxiety disorders.
Other symptoms of trichotillomania include experiencing relief or pleasure after plucking hairs, as well as significant areas of hair loss. Trichotillomania is most common between the ages of 10 and 13. However, it is a chronic condition that may improve with therapy.
Also, if you have other reasons for hair loss and a background of hair-pulling problems, your trichotillomania might manifest as a stress reaction.
There are therapies that can be beneficial if you think you may have this mental health issue, including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and habit reversal training. These methods can assist you in being more aware of the temptation to pluck your hair out and in developing new coping skills in their place.
