Hello,
Depression itself may cause hair loss. In a few patients, you may develop hair loss due to prazosin. So check for zinc, biotin deficiency. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
