Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for hair loss is stress and poor hair hygiene.
But we should definitely rule out hyperthyroidism as this can also cause hair loss.
So get done TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone).
If this is normal then no need to worry for hyperthyroidism.
Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Once your stress is gone, you will improve in hair loss.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
