Why do men fret about going bald?

From Sunday Morning, 9:40 am on 16 February 2025

By the age of 50, around half of men are affected by hair loss. For some people it is traumatic, others don't seem to mind at all.  

Tom Wooldridge is a psychotherapist and an associate professor in the psychology department at San Francisco's Golden Gate University. He has a special interest in body image and joins Jim to discuss why men fret about losing their hair.
