Let's face it, stress is not good for the body and it can cause a number of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. One symptom of stress that I would like to cover is the loss of hair facts. This condition is also known as Telogen Effluvium.

In this article I would like to discuss what Telogen Effluvium is, as well as discuss what stress is and what types of situations could cause it.

Telogen Effluvium is one of the more prominent causes of hair loss. It is caused by stress and works by disrupting the normal hair growth process. When the body is experiencing too much stress coupled with a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body, it can cause the hair follicles to go into a rest period.

We constantly lose hundreds of hairs each day, but it usually isn't noticeable because we are also re-growing hair daily as well. But when your hair goes into a rest period it stops growing and sometimes falls out in patches and clumps.

The good thing about this condition is that it is not usually permanent and your hair will grow back eventually. There is also no treatment for this condition other than learning to cope with your stress and ensure that your body receives the vitamins and minerals it needs to survive.

The definition of stress that I found that explains it best is that: stress is just an arousal in response to a perceived threat.

Stress can be caused by a variety of situations and each situation will affect everyone differently. What might be stressful for one person may not be stressful at all for someone else. It is just how much of a threat the person feels the situation poses to them.

Stress can come from anything from money, work, and school. It can also be caused my traumatic events such as death of a loved one, surgery, or illness.

So there you have it, hair loss and stress are definitely linked. I hope this article has helped you to figure out if stress is what is causing your hair loss. If it is, then try to figure out what is causing you the most stress so that you can try to deal with it effectively.
