background

I just turned 50 in December. I was ill with depression and anxiety last year and I was put on Fluoxetine, 40 mg per day. I still don't know if it's the medication or the menopause that is causing my hair loss. I notice it more when brushing, styling, or even washing my hair. I have not had my hair cut or trimmed over the last 12 months. Do you think having a good cut would help?

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
