Clinical Report: Psychiatric and Psychological Care Utilization in Dermatoses

Overview

This study reveals that adults with atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and psoriasis utilize psychiatric and psychological care significantly more than matched controls. Notably, the patterns of care differ by disease, with psychotherapy most prevalent in atopic dermatitis and pharmacotherapy in hidradenitis suppurativa.

Background

Chronic inflammatory dermatoses are often associated with psychiatric comorbidities, yet real-world data on the utilization of mental health services in these populations is limited. Understanding the patterns of psychiatric care utilization is crucial for improving comprehensive treatment strategies that address both dermatological and mental health needs.
