Emotions

When people are diagnosed with psoriasis, it changes them physically because of the lesions that appear on the skin. But, just as importantly, it may also affect how they react emotionally. Now that their skin looks different, it may influence how they work, play, view themselves and interact with others.

This section talks about the emotional aspects of living with psoriasis. Learning to recognize and manage your personal feelings about having psoriasis is as important as learning to treat the physical symptoms.
