Hi, I have had depressions ever since I can remember, and one other thing I notice is that my hair grows very very slowly.
Over the years, I have learned to take vitamins and add exercise to my daily regimen, all this in addition to increasing my protein intake and moisturizing my hair on a regular basis, but all that has yet to jolt my hair follicles back to life. Like my bowels, which I know are constipated as a result of being depressed, I also believe that depression can also affect the rate of hair growth. Anyone else experience something similar? |

I had not noticed that but I did notice that on one of my medications my lashes fell out and have just now started to grow back. My hair, though, grows pretty rapidly but I have lost volume. Best wishes.

I dont know if hair growth is related to depression but I do know from my own personal experience that when I stop taking some medications my hair does tend to regrow back.

Yes it is very much true. I will vouch for that.
Anxiety can also have an infleunce. The hair takes a few months to react because it is made a certain times before it makes its way out of the skin. That is what a hairdresser told me after seeing 'suspicious holes' in my hair at certain places, which is not very common at the age of 19.... At the same time, I was losing so much hair that it cancelled the slow growth of those remaining, which means over time there was always less, yet longer hair which meant my haircut would stay practically the same during several months. Hair has however grown back sicne then, roughly at its pre-depression rates.
