Depression and Hair Loss

Did you know there’s a strong connection between depression and hair loss? Or that it’s particularly strong in winter months?

Depending on where you live, the winter months can often appear dark and gloomy: cold weather, rain, snow, clouds, and no sunlight. A lack of sunlight can cause Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression. SAD affects about 10 million Americans and can lead to a plethora of health problems – including hair loss.

Most people diagnosed with SAD experience its symptoms before winter, and they continue throughout the winter months. Signs can include:

A drop in energy level
Cravings for sweet or starchy foods
Weight gain
Irritability
Fatigue
Difficulty concentrating
Hair loss and other health problems!

These symptoms should not simply be brushed off as a simple case of the winter blues. If you’re noticing signs of hair loss, it’s time to begin an effective and natural hair loss treatment that’ll thicken your hair without causing any side effects. So, wave goodbye to winter blues with these four tips guaranteed to elevate your mood, energy, and health throughout the entire year while giving your hair new life.

1) Get 15 Minutes of Sunlight Every Day

Sunlight, particularly UV-B radiation, is essential for your body to produce Vitamin D, which is crucial for human health. A Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a handful of medical problems, including diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders, depression, hair loss, and more.

Just 15 minutes of sunlight exposure a day allows your body to get plenty of Vitamin D. So, make a point of going for a quick stroll around the block when the sun is peaking through the clouds.

Since medical problems usually affect hair follicles and scalp health, reverse hair loss and thicken your hair by wearing the Theradome laser hair regrowth helmet for 20 minutes twice a week. Did you know that the majority of women see a 38% increase in hair count after only 18 weeks?

2) Incorporate Vitamin D into Your Diet

You may not have the luxury of seeing a sunny sky every day, or your physician may recommend staying away from UV rays. If that’s the case, try eating foods rich in Vitamin D. Many types of fish contain an abundance of Vitamin D, including mackerel, salmon, tuna, and herring. Not a fan of fish? Ask your physician about taking Vitamin D supplements.

In the meantime, keep your thick head of hair intact and prevent any signs of hair thinning with the Theradome LH80 PRO. Your hair loss treatment sessions will also strengthen your hair follicles and leave you with much more manageable hair.

3) Boost Your Mood with Exercise

Along with depression and anxiety, SAD can also lead to stress, a well-known cause of hair loss. Exercise can help control stress levels and maintain your health (and your hair’s). So there’s another reason for you to put on your running shoes and head for a nice stroll around the park while soaking in some sun.

Don’t Let the Blues Weigh Your Hair Down!

Women are four times more likely to be affected by SAD and experience health problems. But there’s no reason to dread winter months, feel alone or like there’s nothing you can do about how you feel. By following the above suggestions, you’ll soon be on your way to a healthier, happier you. And always remember the best thing you can do for your hair is begin laser hair regrowth treatments with the Theradome LH80 PRO.
