Is it true that having been stressed can trigger dandruff?

I only heard rumors about it, I don't really know if its really true, But i think it matters too, cause when we are so stressed, our body is not functioning well, and so it may affect other parts of our body. I can't explain the whole pathophysiology of it, any explanation about stress to dandruff ?

That seems likely ... it seems stress violates human nature ... it seems no one is meant to undergo that internal mental conflict (called "stress"?) It seems stress can create various diseases by weakening the body's immune system What do you think ?

yeah, you're right, stress can weaken body's immune system, but in relation to dandruff, it may seem true cause its not normal to a scalp with dandruff, or with dry scalp, so i believe now that dandruff is quite now connected with stress. if you're stressed then your body system may not function normally.=)
