Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition where cells overstay their welcome, forming thick, red, scaly patches. The exact cause remains elusive, but stress throws gasoline on the fire. Research suggests emotional turmoil can trigger outbreaks and worsen existing ones. It’s a two-way street: psoriasis can lead to depression and anxiety, further fueling the cycle. This highlights the delicate dance between our minds and skin, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to managing psoriasis.
