Hello, I'm an 18 year old male, and I recently noticed how much my hairline is recessed. The weird thing is, I have really thick hair, that generally looks really healthy. For some reason, my hairline at the sides has gone really far back, but this isn't happening anywhere else. About a year ago, I got really depressed, and it went on until July, when I finally beat my battle with depression. I remember sometime in March when I started brushing my hair, and seeing a TON of hairs falling out. I mean a lot. Like 50-70 after three brushes, but with how much hair I have, it didn't really become noticeable. My question is, is my hairline stuck the way it is? Or will it regrow if it's due to stress?
Can stress and depression cause your hairline to recede?

Could you post some photos of your hairline so that we can see the degree of hair loss that you have. If your hair loss is androgenic (in other words, male-pattern baldness), it is caused entirely by your genes and has nothing at all to do with stress or depression.

No, it would be uniform if the cause was something other than male pattern baldness
it won't regrow, and it won't be "stuck" but you will wish it was. Showing clear signs of male pattern baldness at such a young age is not good at all, and you will probably go on to develop severe male pattern baldness over the course of either a couple years or maybe 10, 20, or 30 years
