107 patients (34 female and 73 male) diagnosed with “generalized psoriasis vulgaris, exudative form, progressive stage” were evaluated for the levels of anxiety and depression. These measurements were carried out along with psychiatrist interview, taking into consideration anamnestic and status information. 67,3% of patients unhesitatingly marked that a previous psychological trauma had caused the current exacerbation of psoriasis. The study reveals interrelationship between the psychiatric and somatic components of psoriasis. We managed to reach marked remission in 19 patients using low doses of psychotropic drugs along with primary dermatological treatment.
