Hair loss triggered my anxiety and I am noticing hints of depression now. You are right in a way, but it all started because of hair loss. I had to cut down my hair and change my style because of my noticeable thinning and I noticed people around me reacted very off when talking to me, I started to feel these bad vibes from people I know, or used to know for that matter. At first, I thought I was becoming paranoid, that's when the anxiety popped out. With time, after compiling so many comments and viewing reactions I realized it was my balding which made me feel very insecure about myself.

It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's the worst thing that can happen to your physical appearance because people treat it ("subconsciously") as a a. disease and b. a sign that you are not taking care of yourself, yet they don't actually recognize it that way so you'll get no sympathy for it, especially if you want to do something about it. It's certainly a terrifying and bad thing all in all to experience at your 20's.

Also, taking care of your hair style or facial hair is a cosmetic thing, painting nails and face is a cosmetic thing, but be fair, treating your hair loss is so much more than that...

I'm not sure about your particular situation, but I know the anxiety and thinking people are put off by you CAN be all psychosomatic. Not saying it is in your case, just saying it can be sometimes. I notice my hair thinning, but nobody else does, even my gf says I look the same. Now if one does really have hair loss they can start getting paranoid tendencies and think people are treating them differently, when it could be nothing. Again, not saying this is your case or anyone elses case, just saying it can be.

I agree treating your hair loss is far more "invasive" or "drastic" than say make-up, nail painting, etc... However women do much more than that sometimes. If I had to think of a list of things women do to be pretty it would put to shame most of the hair loss practices people have here. At least 10-20 routines to maintain how they look. I won't even get into botox, breast implants, tummy tucks, crazy dieting, birth control (some girls take it not just for birth control but to help with other things like periods, acne, weight control, glowing skin, etc...), and even butt implants (really, I find this one the most ridiculous).

To me, birth control has just as many bad side effects as finasteride. It literally makes some girls lose their f*cking mind. My gf get major panic attacks, anxiety, hormonal rage, brain fog, and even depression from it. Sounds a lot like finasteride.
