17F with PCOS, hair thinning for 2 years.

Feeling hopeless.
I’m 17F, and my hair has been thinning since 2024. I’ve been to a dermatologist, took the medications I was prescribed, but honestly, nothing made a noticeable difference.
I have PCOS, and I used to be overweight, but I’ve lost around 9 kg.

My mom had really thick hair when she was my age, but now she’s in her 50s and has significant hair thinning/female pattern hair loss, so I’m worried genetics might also be playing a role.

My hair got much worse around January 2026 because I was under extreme stress and dealing with severe depression. Things are better now, and I’ve been trying to take better care of myself.

At the moment I’m
Eating pumpkin seeds every night
Increasing my protein intake
Oiling hair

I can see a few baby hairs, which gives me a little hope, but overall I’m still so sad and insecure, everyone around me has good hair :(and it’s really affecting me. I’ve been trying to fix this for almost 2 years, and it’s honestly exhausting.
