Even your scalp sweat, which is saltish, cause removing of the hair to some extent. Whether chemicals cause thinning or not but they definitely harm the balance of natural chemicals of your body, which you can notice only after a long time. Till then the harm would have done with no scope of recovery.

Yes, and depression can also cause stress.  It's kind of like the chicken and the egg question.  If your depression goes on for any length of time maybe you better see your doctor before it gets out of hand.

nothing to worry about. there can be reasons like heredity, but not really due to stress and all that other bs. your hair loses the pigment and turns lighter. mine is turning really white and started when i was about your age!  i love color. highlighting masks it better.

Could be for several reasons - first thing to do is check out your relatives. It could run in the family.\nThen you should check how the hair falls out. If there are circle shaped spots where the hair is gone - then you should see a doc about it.

It sounds like your sister has trichotillomania.  Trichotillomania is a psychological impulse disorder characterized by an inability to resist the impulse to pull out your hair.  It can be made worse by stress, or conversely, by relaxation.  This behaviour can be treated with medications and also with pychotherapy.

This is an obsessive/compulsive disorder known tricotillomania, generally more noticeable when you're under stress. Sometimes people pick their eyebrows or the hair on their heads, too. It was recommended that my daughter try Prozac, to reduce her stress levels.  She felt that was too drastic a solution.  Try reducing the stress factors in your life.  Maybe it would help if you put some sort of ointment or cream on your lashes so that at least you would be aware of what you're doing. Check with your doctor to see if there are any newer current treatments available.

Stress can turn a person's hair gray faster than if they had less stress.  Also, after a particularly traumatic event, a person can have a patch of hair turn completely white.  This has been reported after plane crashes, etc.

Any stress on the body can lead to adrenal fatigue - emotional or physical.  So my guess would be yes.
