Does Anorexia make your hair fall out?

I've just recently become an anorexic. I'm getting help, but I've been very stressed out lately, and along with this disease, my hair is falling out!!! I'm really getting freaked out which I know isn't helping but it's creepy!

I'm not solely worried that my hair is falling out just so you all know that. I know that Anorexia can really hurt someone, even kill them. I am getting help as I stated before, but I just wanted to know if the hairloss is caused by this disease as well.

yes. Make sure you are getting help. Not only does your hair fall out, but you can do major damage to your teeth. Which I am learning now. I think once you have anorexia, you never totally get over it, so please, stay with getting help. Good luck.

you have probably become malnourished that and stress can cause your hair to fall out.

im not quite sure...i myself was anorexic before and its horrible adn i regret it..best of luck to you with recovering

yeah - you don't get enough of the stuff your body needs & extraneous things like hair, teeth & fingernails suffer.

Yes, malnourishment and stress can cause hair loss, teeth to fall out, bad skin etc.

It may not be a direct consequence of Anorexia but protein is one of the builiding bolcks to our hair and if your diet is not supplying you with enough there may be a correlation to your hair falling out. I'm sure that Anorexia deprives yourself of a lot more and therefore can weaken your body to much more than hair loss. Talk to a dietician and or doctor. Take Care.

yes...along with other disgusting effects

its probably the stress causing ur hair to fall out but to be safe talk to your family dr. good luck

I'm sure the stress and lack of nourishment aren't helping. Go to a pharmacy and ask what would be a good vitamin to help with your hair.. You should be taking a daily one anyway (which would help a lot) but you could add one to help with the health of your hair and that might stop it from falling out again.

Losing your hair should be that last thing on your mind! You could DIE!!!! Heart attacks, your teeth and fall out, all your organs can shut down! Holy crap and your worried about your hair! I'm sorry that I don't seem to understand your outlook on this, I wish I could really help you. Its very hard for me to understand how someone could possibly think that taking th risk of dieing is worth losing weight! Check out this website, I hope it helps you, and please go see a Dr.!!!!!
