Depression and psoriasis

[Fred]

I had heard of psoriasis prior to my diagnosis, but I just thought it was a skin disease that cleared up with a cream (like eczema) and would go away.  I certainly didn't know it was a life sentence.

Most do think it is something that will pass, yes it can be managed but once you have it it's there for life.

I know there are people reading this that will say different, but I've yet to see any good solid evidence/proof. Unfortunately it can be something that can make one feel depressed or embarrassed, but like you said Kat talking with others who understand does help and that's why we are here.
