Yes, stress can do that. I can understand the nervousness about all the things you’re doing – just go ahead and enjoy it!

I’ve seen stress cause grey hair so I would assume that it could also cause the follicles to die out also.

Definitely. Actually the #1 reason for hair loss in most people is stress and old age. Since in your cage, you are still very young, then it definitely can be because of stress.

So don’t worry, the solution is simple. You can get over your stress using different easy methods – like free stress relief games, exercises, cartoons, or as simple of breathing methods.

Relieving stress is very simple when you know how. And by the way, don’t take any anti-stress medicine because they just give you temporary effect and come with side effects… which means possibly more hair loss.

By the way, good luck with your concert!

Yes stress or depression can cause all sorts of physical symptoms such as hair loss, weight loss, skin break outs, etc… It’s normal but if it becomes a serious problem, maybe you should see a doctor.

Depression definitely does cause hair loss. I suggest you talk to someone about this before it gets out of hand really starts affecting everything you do.
