What is Alopecia? Alopecia is generally considered a lack of hair or loss of hair from areas on the body which normally contain hair. Most commonly alopecia affects the scalp area, leaving people either partially or fully bald. Alopecia can occur at any age and in general it affects about 1% of the population.

Different Types of Alopecia. Alopecia can come in many different forms. Here are just some of the forms of alopecia which can occur: Alopecia Areata - hair loss occurs in patches all over the body. Alopecia Totalis - total scalp baldness. Alopecia Universalis - total body baldness. Alopecia Barbae - Loss of facial hair (for a man) especially in the beard area. There are several other forms of alopecia which I won’t go into here.

How does Stress Cause Alopecia? If all the body’s systems are working well, adult people lose on average from 30 to 200 hairs per day. However this number can increase dramatically due to many different factors. Stress is not the only reason for alopecia, but it is, however, the main one. Stress, emotional or physical can cause alopecia. Anything from losing a loved one to overtraining at a sport can cause stress related alopecia. Basically stress related alopecia is one of your body’s ways of surviving the stress factor. The production of hair shuts down during periods of stress as your body is busy coping with the stress.

Stress and Alopecia - a Vicious Cycle. It really is a cycle when it comes to stress and alopecia. The stress brings on the alopecia and then you start stressing about the alopecia which can make the problem worse. The more stressed you get the more hair you lose and so on.

Stress and Alopecia - How do you manage them both? What is the solution? Remember that you’re not alone. There are many thousands of people who suffer from alopecia caused by stress all over the world. There are treatments that work for alopecia. If you start using these treatments every day you will, in time, get you’re your hair back. Yes, I said in time, unfortunately these alopecia treatments can take time to work, so be patient. You will also need to ensure you look at managing and treating the stress which caused the alopecia if it doesn’t subside on its own.
