Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Itchy scalp is not a common anxiety symptom, but it may be caused by anxiety. Most studies seem to indicate that anxiety and stress don't cause itchy scalp directly. Rather, the person is more likely to have dandruff or a natural and otherwise harmless scalp condition, and their scalp condition is made worse by stress. Consult a dermatologist
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
