The key words that stand out there is they say 'psoriasis does not have direct brain involvement', and appear to say any depression in a person who has p is caused by stress of having p, difficulty everyday life with p, worrying about your appearance etc.
I'm not really researching this side of things though - I'm interested in the growing belief that depression (not neccessarily in someone with P but in any person) is actually directly caused by the physical effects of inflammation and an overactive immune system, and that giving anti-inflammatory drugs can actually directly help many people with depression regardless of whether they had any outward signs of inflammatory disease at all.
