“…Our results were consistent with the results of previous studies, which suggest women with vitiligo had poorer quality of life [33,36,37,42]. However, other studies concluded that vitiligo patients suffer more from depression and anxiety [20,[38][39][40][41]. On the contrary to other studies, this study showed that the women were more anxious and hopeless.…”

Introduction: Vitiligo is caused by partial or complete destruction of melanocytes in the affected skin area and influences the patient's quality of life. Besides physical involvement, vitiligo patients experience a high level of stress. Depression and Anxiety are common psychiatric disorders in vitiligo patients. Aim: This study, as the first study, evaluates hopelessness, anxiety, depression and general health of vitiligo patients in comparison with normal controls in an Iranian population. Method: Hundred patients with vitiligo and hundred healthy controls were examined. General health, depression, hopelessness and anxiety were evaluated based on general health questionnaire. Anxiety, depression and hopelessness levels were analyzed using Chi-Square, and the mean value of general health was evaluated through t-test. Results: The results showed that anxiety and hopelessness levels were significantly higher in vitiligo patients than those who are in healthy controls. This significant difference refers to high levels of anxiety and hopelessness among women with vitiligo. It was also found that the single patients were more anxious, hopeless and depressive, while the married patients were only more anxious and hopeless than those who are in the control group, respectively. General health of patients was significantly worse than in healthy controls. The low level of general health in patients was related to poorer level of general health among women with vitiligo. Conclusion: It seems that women with vitiligo are more mentally stressed than men with vitiligo. Both singles and married vitiligo patients suffer from anxiety and hopelessness.

“… 9 – 11 A meta-analysis conducted by Wang et al, found that vitiligo patients were 4.96 times more likely to have depressive symptoms compared to controls. 12 Psychodermatology is a relatively new area of patient care that focuses on the interaction between the skin and the mind. Thus, in addition to treating the clinical symptoms of vitiligo, dermatologists can also play an important role in helping patients to psychologically adjust to, and accept, their condition.…”

Background: Vitiligo is a common chronic autoimmune disease that is characterized by progressive loss of skin color due to melanocyte destruction. In addition to the physical effects of vitiligo, this condition exerts adverse psychological effects and causes social stigmatization. Earlier studies reported that individuals with vitiligo suffer from poor quality of life (QoL), but data about the QoL of Thai vitiligo patients is scarce. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the QoL and prevalence of depression in Thai vitiligo patients, association between QoL and depression, and factors associated with QoL and depression among Thai people with vitiligo. Methods: This cross-sectional self-assessment questionnaire-based study was conducted at the phototherapy and vitiligo clinics of the
