Yes, stress causes hair loss a lot. Espacially this issue can be seen at male patients more often compared to the females patients who are suffering from hair loss.

Yes, stress can increase hair loss. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The progression of androgenetic alopecia can be hastened by stress. Additionally, transient hair loss (telogen effluvium) can be triggered by the physiologic impacts of mental/emotional stress. However, this is typically self limited.While the effects of stress are well know, the degree to which this plays a role is a point of some debate.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS), with experience in hair restoration.
