What If Hair Loss Is A Psychological Disease?

Just wanted to share something weird with you guys.

My hairloss started in a particular period of my life.
I was angry, bitter and uncertain about my future.

One day, i was examining my hair, and found a couple of new grey hairs. Since i was angry, i looked in the mirror and said "f***, i might as well go bald if i have to grey at 20"
I was so angry that i said this without thinking about it, almost like i wanted it.
My hairloss started one week later.

What i'm trying to say, what if hairloss (even male pattern baldness) is a psychological issue, not a physical one?
That would explain why no one ever managed to cure it.

The reason why we inherit baldness is because we inherit our parents brain chemistry, thought patterns and behaviour, making us more prone to get into the bad thoughts that cause baldness.

I know it's a crazy *** theory, but...
What if, there is something in our subconscious, that is making us lose our hair?

I'm a firm believer that bad memories and experiences can trigger diseases.
I've had many friends who got sick after a traumatizing event.

Like, one of my friends got dermatitis after witnessing his grandpa's death.
He want to a dermatologist and got told "it's genetic", even if no one else in his family has it.

Sounds familiar?
It's the same sh*t that happens everytime with male pattern baldness.
We get told "it's genetic, get over it, enjoy living as a baldie"

Meanwhile, we sometimes see people with fullheads even if their fathers were bald.

Food for thought.
Of course, if baldness were a psychological issues, it still wouldn't be easy to cure.
We know pretty much jackshit about how the subconscious works.

What do you think?

He must be seriously tripping on acid.

Wow, chill the f*** out.

First of all, we don't know what causes baldness.
DHT is the fuel, not the cause.

Second, if we knew what causes baldness, where's the cure? Oh right.

Third, i was just sharing some interesting patterns i noticed around me.

Fourth, i'm not incriminating anyone. Even if baldness was psychological, and caused by subconscious patterns in your brain, there would be no way to realize which events triggered it. So it's not your fault you got male pattern baldness at 15 or whatever.

Anyway, i'm done with this forum. You guys are too depressed to discuss anything. I know i'd rather be happy as a bald man instead of whining every day on this forum, attacking people that only make theories while waiting for a cure that will never come.

Adios.

It has been proved that not even grey hair, which you mentioned, is related to stress. It is a myth. Grey hair is in your genes.

this is a good point. Over the last few months, my stress, diet, exercise, etc.. has been optimal. I have been plucking out certain transplanted hairs. A couple have grown back even thicker and WHITE. I have very few grey/white hairs on my head. I see some of them starting to lose pigment and regrow with shades of red. As if baldness wasn't depressing enough... Jesus christ man.

If people have not figured out what causes hair yet, you're unlikely to solve the issue from some mental masturbation behind your keyboard.

A+ for creativity, but no. I don't subscribe to the silly idea that hairloss is 100% genetic, but this psychological disease idea is even sillier. Hair loss is a physiological process. It could be triggered by emotional stress, which is also a physiological process, but the hair grows back after the stress passes. That is different from Androgenetic Alopecia.

Yeah like how most men must be imagining they woke up with no hair. I guess if that is what psychological would mean
