“…However, we did not find such association in the present study; anger was associated with a longer duration of psoriasis. It is interesting to observe the inverse association between anger and educational level, which was also observed previously (33). In addition, we observed that patients with a lower level of education experienced more shame.…”

Psychosocial problems are frequent among patients with psoriasis. The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence of some specific psychosocial issues. These were evaluated in 936 patients using the emotions and functioning scales of the Skindex-29 questionnaire. The problems most frequently experienced were: shame, anger, worry, difficulties in daily activities and social life. All problems were associated with the severity of psoriasis and with depression or anxiety. Shame, worry and annoyance were more frequent in women than in men, and shame and anger were associated with a low level of education. Impairment in work/hobbies was significantly higher in patients with palmoplantar psoriasis and those with arthro-pathic psoriasis. In conclusion, clinicians could gain important insights about their patients by looking at the single items of a quality of life instrument, to identify patients with high levels of emotional and social problems, in order to improve quality of care.

“…In addition, certain predominant affective temperaments may confer a higher risk for the emergence of suicidality in patients with mood disorders (Baldessarini et al, 2016;Perugi et al, 2012), and also may contribute to the emergence of both depressive (Carvalho et al, 2013) and somatic (Hyphantis et al, 2013) symptoms. Beyond their role as precursors, risk factors, and/or moderators/mediators of distinct manifestations of mental disorders, affective temperaments may also influence creativity (Akiskal and Akiskal, 2007;Srivastava et al, 2010) and professional choice (Akiskal et al, 2005d;Schmidt et al, 2010).…”
