Problem with depression is that you see so many people come here and other forums even before starting treatment, saying they are depressed due to their hair loss. It would be interesting to see the patients Norwood stage and compare them with those who suffer from hair loss, but have not used finasteride, and say they are depressed.

I'm not denying that finasteride causes sexual side effects, brain fog (I definitely think this is true), depression. I'm just saying, i've seen people, usually young, say they are depressed of their hair loss even before starting finasteride and this should be taken into account. It's possible that people who are susceptible to depression would trigger their depression if they use finasteride. And those who already feel depressed due to their hair loss may think that finasteride made it worst.

I only skimmed the link, but it looks like they are saying they found that half the people WHO ALREADY CLAIM to have PFS show signs of depression, anxiety, and "brain fog." Which, isn't surprising. If I felt I had PFS I would be depressed as well.

They should do a study on people balding in their teens/early 20s. I have depression, anxiety, and brain fog from hair loss alone.

Yeah, finasteride or no, rockin' the Danny DeVito look before even age 30 might make people a bit f*****g depressed.

Regardless, Shiseido can't come to market soon enough so that if nothing else, I can stop taking these pills.

Not getting sides, but I take brain chemical inhibiting drugs because it's either that or bald and blow my brains out, so...

Of course it causes brain fog. That is well known. It also very much worsens depression. I have been taking it for over 4 years and have those from it. Dutasteride is even worse. I couldnt stand daily use because the brain fog would kill me. Now just on EOD use and I can somewhat function.

No, we don't get reports of brain fog from minoxidil and laser comb users.

If your theory was true those people would report brain fog much more frequently.
