You’re Not Alone: Dealing with Causes of Hair Loss and the Personal Impact

When you’re going bald, you may feel like you’re the only one. It
seems like every commercial on television features hair wafting
gently in the breeze as tanned youngsters run across the beach;
you may not have the tan or the body, but those are at least theo-
retically obtainable, whereas lost hair seems to be just that — lost
youth forever.
You’re not alone, though; hair loss affects over 50 million people in
the United States alone, and lest you think only men have hair loss
issues, over 20 million of sufferers are women. So it’s a safe bet
that thousands of people are thinking the same thing you are: “I
can’t believe I’m going bald.”
