Male Pattern Baldness and mid life crisis

May 8th, 2006

I read an interesting article about Mark Oaten (A liberal democrat MP in the United Kingdom) and the effect male pattern baldness has had on his life on the Independant website.
To quote the article.

In a remarkably candid article, the Lib Dem MP describes how overwork and the pressure of living in the Westminster village coincided with “something of a mid-life crisis”. Losing his hair in his late thirties had “knocked me for six” he says. “I started to look noticeably older.”

He found that his thinning locks were attracting more attention than the important messages he was trying to convey about the Liberal Democrat policy on law and order. Television appearances would result in a “barrage of emails” noting his lack of hair. “I became more and more obsessed by its disappearance.”

The article goes on to explain how an estimated two thirds of adult men will suffer from male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia as it is technically known.
