In this cross-sectional study from a large UK centre, screening for mental illness in individuals with psoriasis has demonstrated a high burden of depression and anxiety. Overall, 85% of the cohort reported that their psoriasis had affected their quality of life. Quality-of-life scores correlate with depression scores, emphasizing the importance of managing the individual’s mental health alongside their psoriasis to improve overall quality of life.
