Stress related hair loss, also known as telogen effluvium, is a condition that causes hair to thin or fall out due to stress. It can be caused by severe physical or emotional stress, such as major surgery, chronic illness, or the loss of a loved one.
Stress related hair loss is usually temporary and hair will typically regrow within a few months. However, in some cases, it can be permanent. There are a number of treatments available for stress related hair loss, including medication, lifestyle changes, and psychological therapy.
