Atopic dermatitis and psychosocial comorbidities - What's new?

Author
Abstract
:

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease. During the last years, researchers have focused on a variety of associated comorbidities, especially psychosocial disease. This article aims at giving an overview over recent data. A systematic literature research was performed in PubMed including data from the time period January 1, 2018 until March 1, 2020. Patients with AD frequently suffer from cocomitant depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. There is less evidence about the relation between AD and schizophrenia, eating disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. There is still great need for research in the connection between AD and psychosocial disease, particularly about the pathogenesis and the influence of new therapies.
