“…However, few studies have found lower prevalence of psychological morbidity of 31%, 24%, 42%, and 10% using different assessment tools such as Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-1) and psychiatric assessment schedule. [ 15 16 17 18 ] Higher prevalence of psychiatric morbidity (79.2%) was found in a study done by Ramakrishna and Rajni using the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and Hamilton depression rating scale. [ 19 ] The use of different diagnostic tools may be the cause of the differences in the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity in different studies.…”

Background:Vitiligo is an idiopathic acquired progressive de/hypopigmentary disorder of skin and mucosae. In Indian skin depigmentaion is very much obvious and can cause psychological distress, low self esteem and social stigmatization.Aims:The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the psychiatric morbidity in vitiligo patients and secondary objective was to assess the morbidity in all eight dimensions of psychosocial and physical aspects, i.e. cognitive, social, discomfort, limitations, depression, fear, embarrassment and anger.Materials and Methods:An institution based case-control study with sixty-one patients of vitiligo and equal number of healthy age and sex matched controls was undertaken. The self-reporting questionnaire-24 (SRQ-24) and skindex (A 61-item survey questionnaire) were used to assess the psychiatric morbidity in both the groups.Results:The SRQ-assessed psychiatric morbidity in the study group was 63.93%, compared with 24.59% in the control group (P<0.0001). Acral vitiligo had maximum association with psychiatric morbidity (86.67%) followed by vitiligo vulgaris (68%), mucosal vitiligo (62.5%) and others. According to the skindex, the most common psychiatric morbidity in vitiligo patients was depression (62.29%) followed by embarrassment (55.73%), social problem (54.09%), cognitive impairment (50.81%), physical limitation (47.54%), discomfort (40.98%), anger (36.06%) and fear (24.59%). The difference in Skindex scoring that marked the psychiatric morbidity among the case and control groups was statistically significant for depression, discomfort, social problem, cognitive impairment, embarrassment (P<0.0001) and physical limitation (P=0.0044).Conclusion:Vitiligo has a high degree of psychiatric morbidity.

Psoriasis is one of the established chronic dermatological disorders which exacerbate and triggers in stressful life condition. Sometimes it may cause disfigurement that enhances stress. In long run majority of patients get depressed and also show symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorder. This was a cross sectional study, conducted in the department of psychiatry in collaboration with the department of dermatology and venereology of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet, Bangladesh during the period from January 2013 to December 2013 to evaluate the psychiatric morbidity among the psoriasis patients and healthy controls and compare with them. For this purpose, 50 patients with psoriasis of 18 years to 65 years of age were included and categorized as group A where another 50 age and sex matched healthy individuals were included as group B by consecutive, convenient (non-probability) sampling technique. Patients having any past or family history of psychiatric disorder, substance abuse, history of any chronic medical illness, history of long term corticosteroid therapy and obese patients were excluded from the study. After taking informed consent respondents were interviewed using data collection sheet containing socio-demographic and other information which was structured and fix response type. A General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) 12 Bangla version was supplied to the patients and advised to fill up the questionnaire. Those who scored 15 or above points were further evaluated by mental state examination and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) IV Text Revision (TR) criteria for the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. All psychiatric disorders were diagnosed clinically and verified by consultant psychiatrist. Ethical issues were maintained properly and an informed written consent was taken from every patient. After collecting data, editing was done manually and was analyzed with statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21. The results showed that, the mean age of the respondents was 36.5 (SD±13.5) and control 36.0 (SD±14.4) years which was almost identical to control group (p=0.914). Psychiatric morbidity was most frequent in psoriasis group (62.0%) as compared to control group (20.0%) (p<0.001). The most common psychiatric disorder was major depressive disorder (32.0%) followed by generalized anxiety disorder (18.0%), dysthymic disorder (6.0%), somatoform disorder not otherwise specified (NOS) (4.0%) and adjustment disorder (2.0%). The results of this study suggest that a significant number of patients with Psoriasis suffer from psychiatric disorder than healthy control group. Bang J Psychiatry 2022;36(2): 27-34

“…BDI scores were the highest in psoriasis group but this difference was not significant (P = 0.2).

The main purpose of this study is to describe how negative emotions were investigated in the sphere of dermatological diseases, in order (1) to summarize literature trends about skin disorders and emotions, (2) to highlight any imbalances between the most studied and neglected emotions, (3) and to offer directions for future research. A computerized literature search provided 41 relevant and potentially eligible studies. Results showed that the study of emotions in skin disease is limited to Sadness/depression and Fear/anxiety. The emotions of Anger and Disgust have been poorly explored in empirical studies, despite they could be theoretically considered a vulnerability factor for the development of skin disorders and the dermatological extreme consequences, as negative emotionality toward self and the pathological skin condition. The bibliometric qualitative analysis with VOSViewer software revealed that the majority of the studies have been focused on the relationships between vitiligo and Sadness/depression, dermatitis and Fear/anxiety, psoriasis, and Anger, suggesting the need of future research exploring Disgust and, in general, a wider emotional spectrum.
