How does psoriasis impact a person’s life?
Psoriasis can affect people in different ways – emotionally, socially as well as physically. People with psoriasis have to cope not only with the disease, but also people’s reaction to it. Depression is common among people who suffer from psoriasis. Skin lesions may make the person feel unattractive, and some may feel ashamed of their bodies. Some have difficulty interacting with co-workers and even family members and friends because of the appearance of their skin. Some stay home to avoid social situations. Psoriasis can have a strong negative impact on their lives.
