Mental Health
Mental health is as important as any other factor in treatment of this condition. Long term psoriasis can lead to depression and it is vital that the individual maintains as healthy a mental state as is possible. Onset of limited mobility to a previously fit person can induce feelings ranging from resentment to despair this coupled with the disfigurement and consequent lack of self esteem resulting from the skin complaint is a powerful modifier to a persons overall mental health. Effort must be made by friends and family to introduce the sufferer to new activities to replace ones which can't be undertaken due to disability.12.10.2009. 02:47
