Four Tips for Living Well with Psoriasis

Psoriasis puts a chronic strain upon your emotional health. Feelings can range from depression and low self-esteem to frustration.

Build your own support system to cope with your emotions. Support groups provide emotional support, opportunities for exchanging information, and decrease the sense of isolation.
