It is a scientifically proven fact that hair loss has negative effects on people’s mental health. Hair transplantation offers an effective solution to individuals struggling with this problem.
Although the topic related to hair loss and psychological problems is an important issue for people who face this difficulty, current research is unfortunately very limited in this regard. Research shows that the problem of hair loss has a devastating effect on individuals and that individuals who experience hair loss experience problems in many aspects such as self-confidence.
It is of great importance to understand that the emotional difficulties that can occur in people with hair loss should be addressed and not ignored. This is because hair loss can cause a variety of difficulties in personal, social and professional life, as well as in the inner world. This can lead to problems in areas such as the individual’s self-perception, social relationships and performance at work. Our own perceptions and beliefs about how others see us play an important role in this process.
Beginning with hair loss, and especially if eyebrows and eyelashes also fall out, there may be a significant change in the person’s appearance. In some individuals, this may lead to feeling incomplete and unsuccessful as a result of not conforming to the physical norms set by society.
To re-emphasise, it is important to understand that hair loss is not only a physical condition, but also a serious issue that can affect the mental health of the individual. Please read on to understand the psychological effects of hair loss on the individual.
What Causes Hair Loss?
Under normal conditions, it is considered normal for each individual to lose 100-150 strands of hair daily. However, if a person thinks that his/her hair is falling out more than normal, he/she should count the hair loss one by one after daily hair combing and consult a doctor if he/she realises that more than 150 strands of hair are lost at different times. Hair loss can usually be caused by factors such as stress, genetic factors, excessive drug use, sudden shock situations. Especially androgenetic alopecia, known as male pattern hair loss, is a more common condition.
