As i know for my own experience
For the past 10 years of hair loss
i had thick full had of hair than after severe stress mentally and phyiscally in my life cause of trauma i lack of sleep and made my body awake for more than 27-30 hours dfor 6 months
The hair start failling with no touching
I had full thick hair before
Eat healthy organic,exercise,no medication,
so after 3 month of this severe situation the hairs in one of my head side faill off.and i had a finger long(strap) that had no hair on it..
the other side was perfect.. also all the hair on my head seems almost thr same
Alltought the shedding just hepend alone. I really torture myself ans my body (regret of it more than anything for the past 10 years) ,
On the ongoing of my.life every time i had severe stress period i started to lose hair again ,or after 2-3 monthes from the severe stress event, times with no stress i didny had any hairloss accure.and i check my hairs all the time...
I tryed to figure what k had .when stuipd dermotolgicsts didnt know what to.say... and was full of bullshit.
I didnt find any evidence to my cause on the internet,i was alone with it.
WHy my hair not growing back...
When stress level stop
it was like a magic, everytime stress made me bald more and more
And when i eliminate stress than the hair was fine
But no hair growback
The problem is i had a lot of.outgoing with my life and traumatics event with people and myself ,i didnt find a place to rest from the stress.
It keep.follow.
But the period time when i had no stress or very low for 6.month ,9 month ,4 month ,1 year etc... the hair stay as it is..
So i figured if i have male patterm baldness it would not triggerd for decades or at all till im much more older...
And today i found that a clinic wrote the same as my experience on that matter...
I willl put some photos .
But overall it says that
Telogen Effluvium accur can be delayed several monthes. That mean it can hepend right after the severe stress event or few month after usually 2-3 month
(i had both experience with it)
So Telogen Effluvium shedding does not cause permanent hairloss however
Reapted cycles of shedding speed up oneset of androgenic alopcia(male pattern baldness)
it speed up the process of miniaturization and accelrate the age when the beginning of genetic hair loss is recognized even a decade eariler! Thats right a decade! Or even more
Thats what they described .
The same conclusion that i got to with my experience with my hair loss journey and torture ive gone throw. For the past 10 years.
thats mean that

Telogen Effluvium
does trigger androgenic alopcia even decades earlier.

im 37 years old
My hair loss start at age 27
before not ,i had full thick hair. With no hair loss or receding whats so ever..
Ive lived healthy as i can in this society,
The loss of hair start only on one side after severe stress to the body that i put myself throw. And never grow back....
but it stoped there
After stoping the severe stress ,i didnt had any hair loss for years..
So the only bald spot was a finger lenght place in my right side above my hairline
I remember how shock i was seeing my hair failling suddently without no movement of my body or any touch..
But all my body was sick from lack of sleep and putting myself awake for more than 27-30 hours for months..
i had heart pain and bone pain and eyes.pain
All my body sufferd.so ofcourse it got into survival mode taking all blood and nutrition to the organs that important for survival.
Hair is not important for survival.
I was in a very self-harm .

I couldnt comperhand for years how ive done that to myself


over the years i endure severe pain from this outcome and by life ive gone through

And to save my hair and myself lived in nature
so this is my conclusion ,and my journey
You cannot sat diffrently cause everything ive read for years.didnt describe or explain my situation correctly it said that hair sould grow back
Than i couldnt agree ,cause that not what ive experienced so i figure to mysels
that this severe stress triggerd something that was dormant in my body
or hurt my hair follicles and each time stress accured it.hurt them.again
The cure was to..live.without stress.
and that was and is a crazy journey
society are so complexed with toxic .

And for ptsd human with deep scars to live among society is indeed toxic for me,if i dont find a way to live peacefully.
Non stressful as possible

Now i conclude there are things to do to try regrow hair, but its all about effiecenty vs other damage to the body .
I kept focusing on management my stress levels ..
And i should have try method to restore my hair except prevention

to all of you,
Yes stress/severe stress is causing androgenic alopcia(male pattern baldness)
By accelrate it by even as decades
Or does indeed cause to loss hair permanently as it is.

On a side note,each individual is different .
So its all in comparison to yourself.

Severe stress can trigger Telogen Effluvium, causing temporary hair shedding. While it doesn’t directly cause androgenic alopecia, prolonged stress may worsen it. Early treatment and stress management can help prevent permanent damage. Consult a dermatologist for personalized care!

Thank you for sharing your story—it's clear that you've been through a lot, and I really appreciate your openness. It sounds like stress has had a significant impact on your hair, and it’s not easy to deal with both the physical and emotional toll it can take.

From what you're describing, it seems like you experienced Telogen Effluvium, which can certainly happen after severe stress, like what you went through with lack of sleep and overwhelming physical and emotional strain. The fact that it’s a temporary shedding phase and your hair didn’t continue to fall after the stress was removed gives me hope that, in time, things could stabilize for you.

It's really true that stress can also accelerate androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness), especially if you have a genetic predisposition, which could explain the slow, ongoing thinning despite the absence of stress. I think you're spot on in acknowledging that managing stress long-term is key. It’s also great to hear that you're focusing on taking care of yourself, whether it’s through living more naturally or reducing your stress levels.

I completely agree that every person’s hair loss journey is unique. While stress can definitely play a big role, it’s not always easy to pinpoint exactly what causes hair to stop growing back. It sounds like you’re on the right track by prioritizing peace and well-being, which will benefit your overall health, not just your hair.

Wishing you all the best on your healing journey.

Take care,
Nathan

Hi ,thanks for the heartworming replay
i try stress management. But life brought more hard harsh things to handle after i did find peace in mind, i correct you on few thins,first when i lost the hair it or any hair it never grow back(10 year passed) , the hair failed from all the hair. But the balding strap 1 finger hepend in 1 side, and thats it.... from there 3 years passed with no balding no seeing hair loss.
THan after this 3 years everytime i had stressful awful event that hepend in my life and i hard harsh things to deal with on top of the past.
So i kept losing a bit more hair
I think the stress as i decribed miniturise the folicles speesing process making loss of hair.
But its allways just a bit ,
IN beetwen this time
1 year free of stress (no hairloss)
3 month when there was stress significant event or pronolgue , than yes hair keep losing..and not growing back
But the amount are really slim
But stille visible for me..
For the past 10 years i lost hair from stress alone.
When i have low level stress or none i never lose hair
I think if i lived with no stress at all i would not loss hair or loss hair after many many years
I Expect that if. I didnt had any severe stress .from that event that destroy my life
i would stille have today full hair or almost full hair.
As i said the severe stress proccess androgenic alepica or just natural aging process that you would only start loss hair in 50 year old or more you loss it decade before om 27-30
SO this is important finding for me
And i eant to share it to othet men when i experienced with my hair.
BUt the hair never grow back from.stress
Thats why i conclude that i have androgenic alopecia genetically or the stress just kills some hair folicies by keeping the minituraztion and grow accelrate over and over till hairs stays unseen , but would probably would stay untriggerd for years till i would age decades away
After reading article that decribe my finding aswel i understand .this is what it is
