Have Had Depression Followed By Hair Loss And Baldness. Taking Renocia And Iron Tablets. Advise?
Hi..I'm xyz
I've had thin hairs since i was a teenager but never was bald. den before my class X boards(2005),i suffered from depression which caused a lot of hair fall bt i soon revived from it. i moved to delhi in 2007 after which the problem started to get acute n came to my notice. i tried many home-made remedies bt the things didnt gt any better. Anyways, I moved back to my home-town last year and consulted a dermatologist who suggested iron tablets and renocia. i followed it and it did show results i'm still continuing it except for iron tablets and it'll be a year in august. but the baldness isnt completely gone. what should i do? is continuing with renocia fine??

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
depression is a stress.
You have suffered from a stress related condition called as telogen effluvium.
It is characterised by hair fall.
Dont worry this condition is totally reversible.
You are taking a correct medication.
Just add on minoxidil lotion.
This will give you a better result
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
