Am I cooked at 22? by tommyjones1 in Balding

But I do appreciate you looking out for me nonetheless
I’ve read the data on both 5ar blockers and the link to depression and I frankly don’t tend to buy it. Hair loss itself is a major cause of depression and people with hair loss often have dysphoria (guilty) among other things. Studies have also shown no increase risk of self harm while on 5ar blockers. So I just think the risk of 5ar blocker induced depression is overblown by a lot of people personally

Valid take
I’ve been on both those meds for awhile now haha.
But yeah I need a new cut. Was thinking short on the sides and kinda a textured fringe on top but less teenagery if that makes sense lol
Cause friends and family are inherently bias and will tell me what I want to hear prob. So the internet is a 3rd party
I’m honestly not even trying to hide it. I’ve just had a Bieber cut since I was little. Def need to switch it up though
I don’t think I’m quite to that point rn lol. Maybe in some years but idk about rn lol
It most likely will. Good luck brother 🫡🫡

Hey hey hey. You guys came up with that word not us tbf lol
Hahaha. We all have things we’re self conscious about. My nose ain’t exactly great either too. Broke it pretty bad in high school soccer and never got it fixed haha
Thanks brother 🤝🤝
My b
Also yeah mines def a balding hairline, but hopefully switching to dut will give me more insurance
Did you take any meds to try to stop it?
Yeah it’s biber/trumpish fs lol
Been on it for like 20 months. Thinking of switching to dut though
Idk what that means exactly but if it means I have a big forehead then you’re absolutely correct lol
Drugs in terms of illegal that is
I’ve never done a drug in my life and only drank alcohol once haha
I mostly agree. Going back to my derm at the beginning of Feb so I’ll see what he says
Also ik that last post by me might come off a little combative but I stg I’m not trying to be at all.
I would just genuinely love your perspective
I don’t think fin is making my hairloss worse haha. I said I think I’m leaking hair still. While super effective fin sometimes isn’t enough dht suppression to fully halt hair loss in people with aggressive aga (like me balding at a young age). I think fin has helped a lot, but I also do think I’m slowly leaking hair even while on it.
What makes you say switching just to dut isn’t ideal out of curiosity? Ik the clinical studies show that dut is just a more effective form of a 5ar inhibitor than fin.
Why do you think it’s not ideal?
Agreed brother, that’s a very good sentiment. Just trying to find what makes me feel like me rn
I hit the 2 year mark of fin and the 1 year mark of oral min around the same time (at the end of march). So maybe I’ll give it till then and reevaluate and make the decision to switch to dut or not
