Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Anxiety leads to increase hair fall. That could be the reason in her case. In that case, there is no need to give valproate. It could also lead to increase hair fall. Just give her antidepressant like paroxetine or sertraline and ask her to do relaxation exercise. That would help her. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
