An international men's magazine recently published an article about how the current recession has actually had an impact by increasing the incidents of hair loss over the norm. This is a very weird correlation and by right should not be related at all. It will be this strange relationship that we will be investigating in this article.
Many factors that the recession has on people have been analyzed and one determining factor stands out as the most probable culprit in causing hair loss during recessions. This is stress. The type of stress that has shown to be the most "damaging" is one where there are high levels of anxiety about the future. The recession and the associated uncertainty that it brings makes it one of the best catalysts for stress to occur and its side-effects like hair loss to happen. The problem is that we as humans just don't deal with stress very well. It is only in this age that we are faced with such mounting levels of stress. Previously in simpler times, stress was really very minimal. It is because of this huge level of stress that our body's immunities, basic function and even hair starts to degrade or even fail.
Although some people are more susceptible to stress than others, the affects of stress can definitely cause hair loss. The recession affects most people negatively and many workers or business owners who aren't sure of their future are often subjected to extremely high levels of stress which will then propagate and develop into a hair loss condition. The thing is that hair loss caused by stress does not affect the sexes differently. Both men and women are equally susceptible to it.
The stress component is magnified when people are subjected to the stress on a daily basis. Further research by the magazine has shown that those people exposed to daily bouts of high stress are much more likely to experience the side-effects of it like hair loss. It was demonstrated that stress actually builds on itself, sort of like a plane in a spiral spin downwards. The best way to not develop the bad side-effects of stress is to settle whatever problem that is causing the stress in the first place.
The worst thing about the recession or something as big as that is that you have almost completely no control over it, so you can't exactly "solve the problem". Your worries about your future are cannot be easily solved and the only way to deal with this stress is to take it in your stride and basically take it easy. You can even consider some relaxation exercises or some simple activities that we will outline below.
One of the all time best natural stress busters available is simply exercise. Some people who are stressed out find it hard to think of other things and even avoid exercise so they can think of a way to get themselves out of the situation they are in. With things like the recession where you can't really do much about, you have to learn to not obsess about the problem and start to pro-actively manage your stress so that you don't become the next victim of hair loss.
After you have cleared your head with the exercise you can then set your mind to deal with the challenges ahead which cause you this stress. This should include any of the worst case scenarios that you might face like redundancies or even bankruptcy at the worst. You should document all the different possibilities and also think of solutions for all the possible possibilities. That way you will have all your bases covered and you will be able to reduce your stress levels because you have planned for all the different scenarios.
Overall, the additional hair loss that people experience in the recession is almost 100% caused by stress and most probably the mismanagement of it. If you feel stressed you must take the reins and try manage it so that you aren't exposed to additional stress. Never obsess about the recession and look at it systematically and define all the different options that you have. That is the best way to avoid hair loss in this recession.
