脱发可以夺取一个妇女的自尊

头发，这被认为是我们至高无上的荣耀，象征着我们的年轻，在某些文化中，甚至代表着一个人的生育能力。这也是世界各地的妇女表达美丽，自信，个人风格的方式。

不幸的是，越来越多的妇女遭受到了脱发的困扰。

专门研究妇女脱发原因的纽约大学医学中心的皮肤科医生迈克尔里德说：“脱发不仅使一个女人失去了她的美丽，还失去了她的自尊和生活满足感。”

无论你的脱发问题是由外伤、疾病或者遗传引起的，现在都会有种各样的医疗和自然疗法帮助你解决脱发的烦恼。大多数的治疗都需要花大量的时间才能见效，一般是一年或者更长时间。在治疗期间，很多妇女都会怀疑这样的治疗方式是否有效。

Don't Feel Bad About Feeling Bad
"If you really find you can't cope with the change in your appearance, there is nothing wrong with wearing a wig -- it's a very good and logical solution, particularly if you are waiting for a treatment to kick in," Howard tells WebMD.
Reed says that while most women he treats are reluctant to try a wig or hair extensions at first, in the end, he says, many find it is the best solution, particularly if their appearance is key to their sense of well-being.
"In many instances a wig can give a woman back her confidence and her self-esteem; it's not the best solution, but at least she feels she can face the outside world without being judged harshly, and that can be important," says Reed.
Lusskin believes it's all about finding your personal comfort level and being true to yourself.
"While some women may benefit from allowing themselves to be seen without a hair piece -- often finding that a very liberating experience -- for others, hiding their hair loss through the use of wigs or hair pieces is the right answer. It's really all about being true to your own feelings about yourself," says Lusskin.
While experts report that most women do eventually accept and make peace with their hair loss, for some it can become a serious psychological stumbling block. In this instance, worry and concern over appearance can become a pathological obsession that invades all areas of a woman's life.
"If you are losing sleep over your hair loss, if you are continuously ruminating over the problem, if it affects your appetite, or if you are consistently feeling sad, blue, hopeless, or especially helpless, all because of your appearance, then you are seriously affected by your hair loss and should consider talking to a mental health professional," says Lusskin.
Often, she says, the problem is a matter of episodic depression, which can be easily treated. If left untreated, however, not only can it continue to make you feel bad in many areas of your life, the stress and the worry may make your hair loss worse.

Hair Loss, Loss of Self-Esteem
"Suddenly, hair becomes the most important part of their appearance and even their personality -- it's not only the first thing they notice about other women, it's the only thing -- and it can end up causing a great deal of anxiety," Reed tells WebMD.
This, say other experts, can be especially true, if a woman has relied on her looks as her calling card, or even if it represents a good portion of her identity.
"If a woman is tied up in her physicality, if her sense of self-worth and self-identity are defined by her physical self, then hair loss is going to have a much more traumatic effect than it would on a woman whose persona is much more wrapped around her intellect," says psychotherapist Lauren Howard, CSW, a specialist in women's mental health issues and an active participant in the Alopecia Areata Foundation.
If you are someone whose looks have played an important role in your identity, Howard says there's nothing wrong with that and you shouldn't compound your problems by feeling guilty that you care so much about your hair.
"If you are concerned about your appearance, don't feel shallow about it, or ashamed of it; give yourself permission to care and to feel bad about your hair loss, then get a handle on the situation and do something about it," says Howard.
Psychiatrist Shari Lusskin, MD, holds a similar philosophy and says women with hair loss should not be embarrassed about feeling bad.

"Unlike other physical problems that can affect your looks, like being obese, for example, losing your hair is something you can quickly and easily do something about, and you shouldn't feel so embarrassed by your problem that you don't take advantage of what can be done to help you," says Lusskin, director of reproductive psychiatry at New York University Medical Center in New York City.
Lusskin says you'll feel a lot better if you take a proactive self-help approach.
"If hair loss bothers you, don't run from it, investigate all your options, both medical and over-the-counter treatments, and in the interim, until they start working, look into temporary solutions -- wigs, hair pieces, hair extensions," says Lusskin.
Howard agrees and adds that women who are concerned about their looks really don't need to suffer.

Coping With The Pain of Hair Loss
Thinning hair can take a toll on a woman's self-esteem.

Hair. It's been called our crowning glory, a symbol of our youth, and in some cultures it even represents fertility. For women all around the world, it's also an expression of beauty, confidence, and personal style.
Unfortunately, for a growing number of women -- up to 30 million in the United States who suffer with hair loss -- the words "bad hair day" take on a whole new and much more serious meaning.
"Hair loss not only robs a woman of her sense of style, but oftentimes her sense of self-esteem and her security -- it can be very devastating," says Michael Reed, MD, a New York University Medical Center dermatologist who specializes in female pattern hair loss.
Whether your loss is the result of the aging process, hair damage, trauma, illness, or a genetic form of balding known as female pattern hair loss, the good news is there are a variety of medical and natural treatments that can help.
On the downside, Reed says it's clear that most treatments take a significant amount of time before results can be seen -- often up to a year or more. And it is during this time, he says, the period of waiting and "not knowing" if a treatment will work that most women find it difficult to cope with hair loss.

不要为感觉不好苦恼
如果你无法找到其他的方法，戴假发也是可以的，而且这也是合情合理的，特别是你在等待一个长期的手术治疗，或者已经开始治疗了。
里德说：“很多妇女刚开始并不愿意尝试戴假发或者做增发手术，后来她们发现这基本上是最后的解决办法。特别是当她们的外形关系到她们未来的幸福的时候。
“在许多情况下假发可以让一个女人找回一些她的信心和自尊，但它不是最根本的解决办法，至少她觉得她可以承受住外界对她严厉苛刻的要求和评价，这点很重要。 ”
虽然，专家的调查报告说，大多数妇女能够积极的接受脱发的事实，但是个别的女性则可能形成严重的心理障碍。在这种情况下，对于外观过于关心的妇女会受到这种病态心理的严重影响，生活的各个方面都会有消极的反应，对她们的身心健康都的很不利的。
如果你因为过于担心脱发而失眠，如果你不断的回想起这个问题，如果你经常感觉到沮丧、绝望、特别无助，那么可以确定你完全受到了脱发的影响，你应该考虑向心理咨询师寻求帮助。通常，这样的症状叫作偶发抑郁症。然而，如果不及时治疗随机带来的心理疾病，这将严重影响你的日常生活，反而进一步促使你头发的脱落。

脱发，同时丧失自尊
里德说：“突然间，头发变成了最重要的部分，甚至超过了自己的个性。这最终会导致妇女产生大量的焦虑。”
如果一个女人的自我价值与自我认同感都来自于她的外形，那么没什么比脱发更困扰这样的女人，它会带来的巨大创伤的。
如果外观对你的身份来说很重要，那么你在怎么花精力在你的稀疏的头发上也不为过。如果你并不担心你糟糕的头发，那么你应该找家人认真评价一下或者听取一些朋友的意见，然后花些心思来打理它们。
但是，头发不是很完美的妇女也不要因为脱发等原因而自我感觉不好。
不同于其他影响你外形的问题，比如肥胖，当你失去头发的时候你可以有很多补救方法，又不会很明显的影响你现在的外形。所以你不应该因为脱发而感到尴尬或者不自信。如果你积极采取一些有利的措施，你会感觉好得多。
如果脱发确实困扰你，一定不要逃避它，寻找适合你的补救措施，把它们列出来，从中选择一项对你最有用的见效最快的方法。比如戴假发，戴帽子或者做植发手术等。感觉头发不好的妇女没必要感觉痛苦，只要你用心补救。
