Unhappy Anxiety and Hair loss

I suffer from Anxiety and Depression for more than a year now. In the last 6 months i have lost an enormous amount of hair. I have seen Dermatologists and she prescribed rogane. I still haven't seen any improvements on hair growth or from it to stop falling out. Sometimes i think is the medication I am taking, but I have read on the side effects and hair loss isn't one of them. (Prozac and Zanex) I am up to the point that I am fraid to touch it because when i wash it, it falls out in big clumps. I need help! The only thing i can think of is going to go see a Physycologist cause I am going nuts!

I am 30 and have 3 things that could be causing me hairloss as I am told. I did have a very stressful job and left in January. I started to lose my hair late february. I was put onto depression/anxiety medication (which could be a cause - I think - dr says no but what about that alopecia stuff) while I was working. I was also tested for my thyroid which was low and my primary doctor says this is the reason my hair is falling out. But he also said that if the meds don't slow it down the he will send me to a dermatologist. But I also was on L.A. Weightloss for a little over 9 months and I did read that fad diets could also be a cause of hair loss and I am wondering if maybe there could be something within one of the products from la that could be causing this hair loss. I am total wreck over this and the more that falls out of course the more self conscious I feel. I do believe that bald is beautiful, but ONLY ON SOME, hehe. I thought to buy a wig but then of course people will notice something very different.
I am really asking if anyone else has had any of these problems as well as letting you know that I am also having a hair loss problem that is annoying.

Any help to me would also be appreciated.
