Relationship between disease severity, perceived stress, and depression in patients with seborrheic dermatitis

Esra Saraç

Abstract: Objective: A significant proportion of patients with seborrheic dermatitis state that disease attacks are triggered by psychological stress and disease severity increases during stressful times. This study aimed to determine the relationship between disease severity and perceived stress and depression levels in patients with seborrheic dermatitis. Patients and Methods: The patients’ demographic characteristics, medical history, and Seborrheic Dermatitis Area Severity Index (SDASI), Perc… Show more

Introduction Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common, chronic inflammatory skin disease, but the physical and emotional burden of patients with SD experience has not been well characterized. Methods The Harris Poll conducted online surveys of US patients and healthcare providers (HCPs) from December 2021 to January 2022. Results Almost half of patients reported that SD negatively impacts their emotional and physical well-being “a lot/a great deal”; HCPs underestimate the level of impact on patients. Most patients with SD reported a significant mental health impact, including anxiety, depression, anxiety about interacting with other people, and isolation. Two-thirds of patients said they did not know anyone else who had been diagnosed with SD, and even after diagnosis, less than half of patients still said they did not know anyone else with SD. Nearly all patients and HCPs agreed that it was challenging to hide SD symptoms, and most patients felt embarrassed when people commented on their SD symptoms. Most patients agreed that they would be further along in their career if they did not have SD, and SD symptoms made them less confident at work and less likely to want to interact with people at work. Almost half of patients reported ever missing work as a result of SD symptoms. Conclusion These insights emphasize the physical and emotional patient burden associated with SD, impacting all aspects of patients’ lives. Graphical abstract available for this article.

Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a highly prevalent dermatological condition globally. The condition demonstrates bimodal presentation with what is commonly thought to be two subtypes: adult/adolescent seborrheic dermatitis (ASD) and infantile seborrheic dermatitis (ISD). Despite the common prevalence of ASD and ISD, there remains uncertainty around the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, risk factors, and appropriate classification of the disease(s). This narrative review summarizes the current understanding of the epidemiology, presentation, and pathogenetic factors like epidermal barrier dysfunction, lipid abnormalities, and cutaneous microbiome for ASD and ISD. Elements such as immune responsiveness, neuroendocrine factors, and genetics in these disease states are also investigated. Throughout our review, we highlight shared features and discrepancies between ASD and ISD that are present in the literature and discuss potential avenues for future research that explore these disease states. We aim to contribute to the medical discourse on ASD and ISD and increase awareness of the need for additional research around these conditions, ultimately informing better targeting of therapeutics moving forward.

Background: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by immune dysregulation, inflammation and disruption of the skin barrier. Despite its global prevalence, with studies indicating that up to 5% of the population may be affected, the study of the physical and emotional impact of SD on patients is limited. Furthermore, the prevalence of SD appears to be increasing over time. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors and management approaches for seborrheic dermatitis. Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in the Department of Skin and VD, Community Based Medical College Bangladesh, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during the period from June 2020 to June 2022. In our study, we included 150 patients with seborrheic dermatitis who visited the Department of Skin and VD at Community Based Medical College Bangladesh. Results: Among 150 patients, 55% were male and 45% were female. Among all reported patients, 56 (71%) had a moderate level of SD, followed by mild (16%) and severe (13%). Among the HCP (Health care provider) suggested patients, 41% of them had moderate SD, followed by mild (40%) and severe (19%). Out of 150 patients, 50% of them were not allowed to miss their jobs due to the symptoms. Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the importance of a holistic care approach for managing seborrheic dermatitis. This approach should encompass not only the treatment of the physical signs and symptoms of the disease but also the psychological and social challenges that patients with seborrheic dermatitis face.
