Yes I am sure that there is a large element of truth in the survey however if you replaced psoriasis with many other conditions then the conclusions would probably result in the same statements.
We know that psoriasis is a disease , though should we call it a disease as such ? , that causes distress due to the fact that it can be seen and misinterpreted by ignorant people which does cause depression though again there are many levels of depression .
I agree that education is needed but extremely difficult to achieve in any depth, what is great about this site is that support is the key to offsetting the negative aspects of other people but not only that the support is by people who have the same problems which puts a completely different spin on it.
I also think that in this day and age depression and associated problems seem to becoming more common or maybe with the increase in communication it is just easier to tell everybody what sort of problems you have.
