ResumoThe occurrence of depression in association with dermatologic disease is common. Psychiatric disturbance is reported in approximately 30% of dermatology patients. Depression can have varied presentations and is more relevant clinically in dermatology patients during critical psychosocial periods of development. Early recognition and treatment of depression associated with skin disorders can lead to improved therapeutic outcomes and may avert disastrous outcomes, including suicide.
