so yesterday my friend committed suicide i dont know for sure it was bc of his hair loss ( he was noorwood 5) or something else but im sure that hairloss changed him completely and now i wonder why dont these guys take it srsly that hairloss is not just not a cosmetic problem and we had something useful today maybe he was alive now and enjoying his life at 21 so sad...
Holy sh*t dude.. I am really sorry for your loss.. That sounds terrible..
There was also a guy who killed himself cause of PFS (Post Finasteride Syndrom), he even has a video on youtube.
The problem is, people who dont bald cant really understand whats going on and how much it can affect and change a person's everyday life until they bald theirselves. Especially if you started balding really young.
It took decades to recognize depression as a real illness for most people. Before, everyone just said: "You are just feeling bad today". Fortunately they get the help they need today. It took so much time, cause you cant visibly see depression, like a broken leg or something. Ofc they can see your ugly bald head, but they cant see how it affects and changes you.
There is a long way to go for us.. Right now, if you talk to somebody about your hairloss (who is not balding), the only reaction you will get is "just shave it bro", "bald men are sexy", "be a man, hair is nothing"..
If you let yourself down cause of hairloss you are not a real man and a pussy who cant cope with something so "little".
Literally every balding person I know (I actually know many) and talked about hairloss is depressed about this topic and feels like he cant really enjoy his golden years (20's).
As I said, there is still a long way to go for us. Probably humanity will never recognize baldness (if you are a man) as a real problem, because it's likely that we get the cure before that happens.
At least we have a some hope with all the upcoming promising treatments in the pipeline. Companies see the huge profit they can make with balding people.
