Yes, this! Definitely an important first step. I was losing quite a bit of hair a couple years back, and I couldn't figure out what the reason was. The only option that I couldn't 100% rule out was stress, but I honestly really didn't feel like I was under an unusual amount of stress. But then a very minor thing went wrong with one of my book releases, and I had a complete mental breakdown, the likes of which I had never experienced before in my life. Soooo yep. Turns out, I was extremely stressed. lol Had to make some big life changes after that. My hair seems to be back to normal now, which I'm grateful for, but most importantly I'm much happier and have learned how to balance my life better.
