Those who suffer from hair loss might be experiencing trauma not because of vanity reasons but more for a feeling of loosing thier identity.
I was watching a documentory on transexuals called "Transgeneration" on Showtime which was about people in their twenties experiencing trauma for a lack of identity with themseves and the body they were born with and how some dealt with this through a sex change. One boy (female born) was on the path to changing her sex through the use of testosterone and the fear she (now he) was going through.
I couldn't help but relate to this individual as I am treating myself with Dutasteride which extremely alters my chemical balance within my body and I realised the stress I feel from loosing my hair is not a cosmetic reason. I am not in the least bit concerned about whether I look beautiful or not nor do I think hair loss is in any way "ugly". But I do feel something strong within me that if I don't reverse my hair loss I will never be able to be myself again. I will forever be able to relate to being born in the wrong body just the same as a Transexual feels. I would even cosider surgery as an optional treatment just as a transexual would.
So as you can see I am not in the least bit vain when I say hair loss has destroyed my life. And I feel this lack of identity is the main culprit in androgenetic alopecia anxiety.
