There is a link between mental illness and psoriasis. "An August 2010 study published in the journal Archives of Dermatology found that those living with psoriasis have a 39 percent increased risk of being diagnosed with depression than those without the disease, while the risk of an anxiety diagnosis is 31 percent higher." Those dealing with the pain of psoriatic Arthritis have a greater risk of depression problems. Stress is a factor in both depression and psoriasis.
