HCPlive (3/4, Alicea) reports, “A cohort study of” 502 “patients with psoriasis found that discordance in physician and patient disease severity assessments was associated with poorer mental health status.” The study revealed that patients “who were considered positive for depression or anxiety were more likely to overestimate their psoriasis severity compared with their physician.” The findings were published online in JAMA Dermatology.
