I was diagnosed with bipolar back in June of this year and was put on lithium. My dosage was increased from 600 mg to 900 mg in august, and since then, while I’ve felt much more alive, I’ve been losing hair. It feels like I’ve been losing more and more every day and my hair is about half of its original volume. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I’d appreciate any advice on ways to mitigate the loss. I’m finding it incredibly disheartening to look at myself in the mirror.

I marked this as advice/support because that’s really what I think I need right now, don’t know how to mark a second but I suppose it’s also a med question!
