Is anxiety a symptom(or side effect) of having psoriasis?

by Symptom Advice on February 7, 2011

I saw a commmercial and it said something about people having anxiety problems or social disorders due to psoriasis, but you cannot see anything on them during this commercial.

I also have a freind with psoriasis, and hes had bad anxiety attacks and still has anxiety, but you cant see his proriasis at all…mainly cuz he wears a hat a lot but still its not noticeable at all…
Are these people making a mountain out of a moehill? or is there something in psoriasis that triggers anxiety?

Complications of Psoriasis include:
Depending on the type and location of the psoriasis and how widespread the disease is, psoriasis can cause complications. These include:

* Severe itching, which can lead to thickened skin and bacterial skin infections
* Fluid and electrolyte imbalance in the case of severe pustular psoriasis
* Low self-esteem
* Depression
* Stress
* Anxiety
So yes Anxiety is a complication.
