    TLDR Hair loss can often be reversed with the right treatment.
    The 2001 review titled "Hair loss: an overview" discussed the complexity of diagnosing hair disorders, which requires evaluation of clinical presentation, history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Hair loss was categorized into hair shaft abnormalities, permanent alopecia, and nonpermanent alopecia. The most common type was nonpermanent alopecia, which includes androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and traction alopecia. The key feature of this group is the potential for complete regrowth with appropriate treatment.

She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.

      In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
