Asked By:ub7511 in New Delhi, IN

Very intense hair shedding since November 2015 and had general anxiety disorder in feb17 took antidepressant for 5months and then quit. Hair shedding never stopped since then and the only thing I am concerned about is if this is diffuse androgenic alopecia or chronic TE as I see some very fine and thin hairs. Very poor diet and sleep also since last year. Last week consulted a dermatologist and blood work showed 10.6ngpm vitamin d and have a very itchy scalp with a lot of wax and sebum.
