Abstract
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. 85% of the cohort report that their psoriasis had affected their quality of life. Quality of life scores correlate with depression scores, emphasing the importance of managing individual's mental health alongside their psoriasis to improve overall quality of life.
