Hair Loss Leads a Man to Drugs and Prison
Baldness symptoms take many men by surprise. Even if the condition is seen among family members when it actually occurs to oneself, it is devastating. Both men and women are affected by hair loss although to varying degrees and patterns and for different reasons. But one thing remains common, the psychological effects hair loss has on a person.
Although wigs, scarves and caps are immediate remedies, they cannot be worn always especially indoors. While some people take hair loss in their stride there are others who become reclusive or just the opposite. The mental make-up of a person decides what he or she does when faced with hair loss predicament.
Family and friends can help a person cope with this nightmare. There are several telephone helplines, websites and counseling sessions which offer timely advice on medicinal remedies, good hair transplants and so on. The success of celebrities and others in attaining a full head of hair by hair transplant have to be indicated to victims of hair loss to prevent them going into depression, taking to drugs and sometimes turning towards crime. Unusual behavior indicates mental depression and has to be detected early.
The recent episode of the court hearing of a young man of 27, Kamran Javed who first turned to drugs and then to drug trafficking brings such issues to the limelight. Javed struck by depression started on cannabis for solace which was not a solution to fight alopecia (hair loss).
A factory worker, Javed pushed himself to isolation and started taking drugs buying them in bulk. He could have spared this expense and invested in good medicines or gone for hair transplants if he had received correct guidance.
When he finally decided to kick the addiction he started selling the drugs when he was caught with £3,000 worth of drugs and more than £3,600 in cash in his bedroom. He was sentenced to nine months in prison, suspended for 18 months, with 12 months of supervision and a 12-week curfew as punishment.
If Javed had been aware of safer alternatives he would have been spared this untoward turn of events which has put him in jail for a common problem such as hair loss. This only highlights the fact that people have to be aware of lasting solutions which may require patience and should not crave for instant relief or an escape from such situations.
Javed has made a good start by trying to kick the addiction to drugs.
