Results from survey of psoriasis patients don't look good.

[Fred]

You're right, it doesn't make good reading, but I don't think it's far off the truth, but I don't know whether to believe that people are depressed because of their Psoriasis, I just think depression and anxiety is on the rise.  4 of my closest friends are either currently on or have been in the past 2 years anti anxiety or anti depressant medications and none of them have chronic illnesses.  

Disclaimer:  this is just my personal opinion

I agree I think it's close to the truth going by what our member say here, the only problem I have is when a drug company does the survey and it's a tick the box type survey as opposed to being asked at ones dermatology appointment.

As for depression there are indeed many reasons for it, and again one could ask did people tick a box not really knowing if they have clinical depression or not?

You don't have to give a disclaimer Amanda. You are welcome to your opinion and I just put my bit in as I don't usually comment on news reports straight off. I try to keep my reports as independent as possible, but I personally felt the survey could be looked at as a publicity  stunt and as most people know I'm against those sort of things. So I made my comments to point out they are not the thoughts of Psoriasis Club.

Plus it's me they will string up on the yardarm not you.
