Substantial psychosocial impacts of living with psoriasis
The burden of living with psoriasis is often underestimated. In addition to the direct clinical challenges of psoriasis, many patients with plaque psoriasis suffer substantial psychosocial impacts from their disease, including: social stigma, feelings of rejection and shame, guilt, impaired sexual intimacy, discrimination in the workplace, difficulty finding employment or working outside the home, financial hardships, increased work absenteeism and reduced productivity.

Psoriasis can be managed by topical, oral, biological treatments as well as phototherapy. Depending on the severity of the disease, patients and health care professionals choose between these treatment options.
