I wonder how many people on here have actually suffered depression due to their hair loss or have themselves turned to alcohol or other methods to numb the pain caused by loosing their hair.
I for one struggled for many years due to my hair situation allthough it was more because of my butchering than actually loosing my hair in the first place. I know how it feels to be in such a dark place and am not suprised by some of the findings in the poll below.
"More than a quarter of men under the age of 35 turn to drink and drugs due to hair loss, new research shows. The survey of just over 2,000 men, commissioned by Asda Pharmacy, shows the major emotional strain placed on young men who are losing their hair.
41pc of men under 35 said they would rather lose their home or sight in one eye than all of their hair, while 36pc of men under 35 referred to hair loss as one of their biggest worries. Almost four in ten (38pc) of the men surveyed said hair loss makes them feel depressed.
Many reported that the process has had a major impact on their social and romantic lives. Almost a third said they felt a lack of confidence, with some four in ten (39pc) experiencing a lack of sex drive and a third going so far as to avoid socialising with friends.

I can empathise with most of that. Hair loss really can have a devastating impact on all aspects of life. Saddens me to think how many young guys right now are having their lives affected by it.
