Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Hair fall increases during stressful condition. If you have emotional irritability and this has been increasing, in that case, you may have underline depression. You can consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment. Mean time, you can do some relaxation exercise that would keep you calm.

Thanks
