I think there might be some correlation.
I am not saying Stress CAUSES male pattern baldness, but i do believe there is a strong link between prolonged stress (As perceived by the individual, would vary from individual to individual depending on how they perceive their stress) which would lead to chronically elevated cortisol levels which can in turn (Directly, or Indirectly) 'trigger' the male pattern baldness gene, or genes. Once the gene is triggered, male pattern baldness continues and taking the stress away / returning cortisol levels back to normal would do sh*t all to stop it.
I know this is probably a GROSS oversimplification of how it goes down, but I think this may be (in part) the cause of my own male pattern baldness.
