| Study objectives | Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting approximately 2-3% of the population. The condition is incurable at this stage and the course is recurrent, with periods of remission. It is believed to be a genetic disease, with the genetic tendency thought to be triggered by various environmental factors including infection, skin trauma, certain medications and stress. Previous research has shown that psoriasis patients have a high incidence of psychological distress, with studies reporting psychological disturbance in the order of 30 - 40% of patients. Psychological distress reported by psoriasis patients includes increased levels of anxiety, depression, excessive worry, reduced quality of life and impaired everyday functioning. Overall, psoriasis patients report more psychological distress than any other dermatology group. |
