    feelings about how much stress one thinks they're experiencing

    Perceived stress refers to the feelings or thoughts an individual has about how much stress they are under at a given time. It is subjective and varies from person to person, depending on their coping mechanisms, personality, and life experiences. For professionals, understanding perceived stress is crucial because it can influence both mental and physical health, including conditions like alopecia, where stress is a known contributing factor.

      A 15-year-old is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood 2 or 3, and is using shampoos and conditioners recommended by a trichologist. Suggestions include considering topical minoxidil and consulting a doctor about topical anti-DHT treatments like finasteride or RU58841, but avoiding 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors at this age.
