기저 정신질환을 가진 환자에서 순응도 감소로 인해 악화된 만성 피부 질환 3예

Abstract

The relationship between dermatologic and psychiatric disorders should not be overlooked. Variable dermatologic disorders induce physical and psychosocial stress, which can aggravate psychiatric diseases, such as depression, autism, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Inversely, psychiatric problems can also induce dermatitis itself, such as dermatitis artefecta and trichotillomania. The compliance of patients with psychiatric problems is much poorer than that of the general population, thus aggravating the dermatitis. Herein, we report 3 cases of aggravated chronic dermatitis due to poor treatment compliance among patients with underlying psychological disorders, which required a multidisciplinary team approach involving psychiatrists and close familial support.
