Stress can be a cause of alopecia. The same goes for food, general health, hormonal imbalances, among others. If hair loss is so significant as to be concerned, then you should consult with a doctor to determine its causes.

Any type of hair loss is called alopecia, but there are many types of alopecia and its causes are multiple. Only a doctor can diagnose stress alopecia and give appropriate treatment. There are many possible treatments for combat stress alopecia.

If this is a clinical problem, shampoos will not do any good. Shampoos can be used in cases of hair loss caused by skin irritations and clogged pores and follicles, but do not give a solution in cases of medical problems related to hair loss.

If this is not the problem, if it is alopecia areata, it will get worse. With a little luck, a problem will be easier, perhaps caused by a hormonal imbalance, or due to an “agent” unknown that affects the scalp. In such cases, the doctor we usually prescribe a treatment to fix the problem and the hair will grow back normally.
