PsA Action Month

About 1 in 3 people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis.

There is nothing fair about having to live with psoriatic disease. Perhaps the most unfair burden is the mental strife faced by people who experience the fatigue, pain, and disability of psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

NPF is a worldwide community of people who understand what you’re going through. You will never have to face anxiety, depression, or the physical pain and mental anguish of PsA alone. Together, we each share a bit of the struggle. We unite around our common experiences. We drive real change through investments in research, support, and education.

Together, we can handle anything.

From the Community – #ThisIsPsA

Your experience with PsA is unique to you, and your story is a powerful tool that helps others navigate this challenging disease. Share your story or see the stories of others on Instagram with the hashtag #ThisIsPsA.

This PsA Action Month, NPF is pleased to offer resources and support to help you navigate the physical and mental burdens of PsA. Additionally, we’ve added a healthy dose of feel-good stories from our community – a little “pick-me-up” when PsA has you feeling blue.
