There are far worse things than hair loss that could afflict you. For instance, a deadly incurable genetic condition such as Huntington's disease (child or adult-onset), Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (child-onset), or Fatal Familial Insomnia (adult-onset). Do some reading about these conditions and you'll see what I mean. They are FAR worse things to suffer from or to know you are at risk for than something like hair loss.
Ehm, first - crucial question- what norwood are you? And second- you have to differenciate between physical and psychological diseases.
What is worse- disease- that will kill you or disease that will make you unable to live and wish to die.
I would not like to get the diseases you wrote- I would probably wish to die than to suffer, but I have male pattern baldness and the result is the same, so what is worse.The result is the same, just the way you get there may be different.
Do you tell one handen man- hey, atleast you got one hand, somebody has not even one hand, you should just man up!
There actually is even one guy here on forum with one hand and he says balding is worse than that.
I would sincerely rather have cancer and get the atleast chance to fight it, than to have male pattern baldness and be powerless and just to watch me everyday to loose. When I was most down and tried to commit suicide I sincerely wished I would get some deadly disease- that would do the thing for me and I wouldnt have to kill me myself.
Yes, you can get worse diseases in terms of the way they harm your body, your functions, that may kill you.
But if you have male pattern baldness that makes you not want to live, that makes you unable to live, to be unable to feel alive, that will make you fell like you are already 80 years old an on the end of your life and everything nice is already behind you and you can just wait for death because nothing will come to you life anymore and that eventually makes you commit suicide in the end.
What is worse in terms of impact. On every side the end result might be fatal.
Its the same for severe depressions- they can easily end up killing you-commiting suicide. No one who had them cannot understand how one can kill himself because of it. But in opposite to hairloss- depressions are recognized as disease and are cured by doctors. Hairloss can get you to state of severe depression- that will make you kill yourself.
Hairloss is mental torture its like putting a food and water in front of starving men with sewed mouth.Everything he wants is in front of him,he can see it, he can smell it, he can touch it, but he can not have it.
Mixing physical an psychological diseases is not possible. Both can kill you- in its own way- its not comparable.
Actually I think that nobody who was atleast nw5 in his teens will ever understand.
