Is My Hairloss Caused By Depression And Anxiety?

So about 3 years ago I had a very bad incident that made me so depressed to the point that the thought of killing myself never left my mind. The effects weren't just mental, my chest hurt sporadically and I always had headaches and my hair started falling to the point where my friends noticed the change in my hair. after about a year from that incident I began to recover both mentally and physically and even a friend of mine I always joked with about my hair told me I have nothing to worry about and I should stop making these jokes and he was quite right, my hair started to grow back after like 3~4 months and no one pointed out anything about my hair after.
Now about 8 months ago I had really bad anxiety attacks due to job stress and work that needed to be done, my hair started falling again and I was like 'That happened before, no big deal' and I thought after all the stress is gone it will grow back, it didn't.
Or at least not as I thought it would. is this related to anxiety and I should wait for sometime or what you see in the pictures was gonna happen anyways with or without anxiety and stress
Pic 1,2 when I try to play a little with my hair
Pic 3,4 is when I try to put it forward and is the hair style I use now

*note I shaved my head to 2 a while back just to see if it will grow back evenly, it didn't.

Na that’s pattern balding, just diffuse thinning. That’s Androgenetic Alopecia. Seek treatments

What would that treatment be?

Rogaine Men’s Foam which is over the counter at many many stores or Propecia which is prescription only. I encourage you to google these two products. They are the most proven thing currently in the hair loss game

Cant say what norwood without seeing ur hairline but you have diffuse thinning which rogaine usually works for. Also, male pattern baldness is genetic but ur stress could have potential sped it up. Maybe you were supposed to start balding 5 years from now but ur stress was chronic and it triggered the gene. Just a possibility.
