What are some of the medical conditions that you guys know cause hair loss? I know thyroid disorders cause hair loss, also for women menopause and birth can cause hair loss. But what are some others?

The most common, hereditary. 

Physical or emotional shock can have an effect. Not sure if this is a medical condition but it is contributory. Telogen effluvium is typically temporary.

Chemotherapy

Hormonal changes, some of which you've outlined already,

Alopecia areata,

Scalp infections like ringworm,

Trichotillomania,

Many medications which I can gladly list if you want me to,

Hair treatments which can lead to traction alopecia, or hot oil which results in scarring,

Lupus,

Significant weight loss,

Smoking,

Auto immune diseases, some of which have already been outlined.

Anemia,

Seborrheic dermatitis,

I'm sure there's a lot more.....

Stress is not the culprit but can exacerbate the issue....Stop thinking about it and get on a regimen.....

Self-fulfilling prophecy. Strange that now when I see hair running down my drain I don't really worry about it anymore.
