What Causes Itchy Scalp While Suffering From Depression?
I have been loosing my hair and have severe itching of the scalp and different areas of the body. I have been on prescriptions for depression for the past 3 and a half years. I reviewed your writing regarding autoimmune disease and trichotillomania. Can these be related to my issues and if so what is the best way to follow up with this?
hi, mainly hair fall is related to tension, hormonal changes, scalp local pathology like dandruff, scaly lesion, and all that. sometimes it may due to drug reaction, which drug u took u didn't mention.so kindly consult skin specialist and consult your psychiatrist also drug reaction problem.
