Living with Psoriasis Is More Than Skin Deep
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that can leave visible marks on the body—and invisible marks on the mind. For many, flare-ups are accompanied by anxiety, depression, and self-consciousness, often made worse by social stigma.
Did you know? People with psoriasis are about 1 1/2 times more likely to experience depression compared to the general population, according to studies published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Whether you’re dealing with the physical discomfort of lesions or the emotional weight of public perception, it’s essential to approach psoriasis care holistically —addressing both skin health and mental well-being.
The Emotional Impact of Psoriasis
Anxiety and Social Withdrawal
According to a 2024 study in Frontiers in Psychiatry, 20–50% of people with psoriasis experience social appearance anxiety. This can lead to avoiding gatherings, feeling disconnected, and lower self-esteem. (Read study)
Identity and Self-Image
Psoriasis can alter how you see yourself. Visible plaques on the face, hands, or scalp often impact confidence and create emotional barriers in personal and professional life.
