Dear members,
The topic is around hair loss awareness and mental health due to hair loss. This is something that does and myself included impact anyone who suffers with hair loss. Having gone through a number of procedures myself, I can only stress the importance of tackling the mental aspect before you even consider surgery. I have been involved with this industry for around 15 years and the impact on young males and females going through this, with the hope of a quick fix is quite frankly heart breaking which is why it is even more important to do your research and educate yourselves.
There are amazing and ethical clinics out there who will guide you at look at preventative methods first and foremost and unfortunately due to the industry being a multi billion dollar industry, there are clinics out there that do not meet the standards, unethical and only see the dollar signs and not the impact on mental health a bad hair transplant can do for there patients.
“Awareness and acting early are the key ingredients to improving the odds that your hair will be with you in as best a condition as possible for as long as possible.”
‘The Hidden Impact of Hair Loss’ report by Dr Nigel Hunt, Associate Professor in Health Psychology at the Institute of Work, Health and Organisations at the University of Nottingham, examines the extent to which personal and working relationships are affected by hair loss and whether there is a stigma in today’s society for people with hair loss.
Interestingly, the report highlights that, while it is common for people with hair loss to approach their doctor for assistance and guidance, many do not feel that they are taken seriously. GPs have been known to say things like, ‘It’s normal for your age’, ‘You should just go home and forget about it’, or ‘As there are no life-threatening symptoms, it does not matter’. This attitude can make people who are self conscious about their hair loss, feel even more isolated and more distressed, which in turn can make the problem worse.
This should not always be the case, speak out, seek advice and research as there are options out there to help and improve your situation.
Research. Educate.
Yes I am also agree with you that post about how mental health are affected by the hair loss ...
