đ Psoriasis is more than skin deep â it impacts mental health too.
For many living with psoriasis, the physical symptoms are only part of the challenge. The stigma associated with this visible condition can be deeply distressing, leading to anxiety, depression, and a diminished quality of life. đ Why? People with psoriasis often face misunderstandings, misconceptions, and even discrimination. This can result in feelings of isolation and a significant emotional burden. The visible nature of the condition can make social interactions and daily life more challenging, with many individuals feeling the need to hide their skin. đĄ What can we do? Educate others about psoriasis to dispel myths and reduce stigma. Support those with the condition by listening and offering empathy. Advocate for mental health resources tailored to the needs of people with chronic conditions like psoriasis. Itâs crucial to recognize that mental health is as important as physical health. By fostering understanding and compassion, we can help those with psoriasis lead healthier, happier lives.
