Suggest Treatment For Severe Stress And Depression

I am an old man of 80 years. In the age of 40 my hair started falling due very high level of stress and depression. Before that I had quite thick hair. I have no history of baldness in my family. I just want to know if MINOXIN can help me grow hair. I am not that much worried in this age but touch of hair on head gives me lot of pleasure. Kindly advise my next action. Regards.

Hi,

Healthy hair is great even in late ages. Though hair fall may be associated with ageing, it not always the rule.

Minoxin can work even in late ages. However it important to be assessed first properly and to rule out other causes of hair fall like anaemia, thyroid disease, or hormonal imbalance.

If all these are fine, you may be prescribed Minxoin for the hair fall. So the best plan would be to see a dermatologist who would assess you and may give you proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
