Join a support group
Support groups have proven to be helpful in containing the emotional effects of the disease. Talking to others who have psoriasis and are going through the same thing as you would go a long way, you get to share experiences, communicate the challenges you face, and find light in some areas. You may even find yourself laughing while talking to each other because you can be sure that there is no form of judgement amongst yourself.
Communicating about how it feels to not wanting to wear shorts even though its hot outside and how strangers constantly stare at you, all these would definitely make you feel better and help you deal with the emotional troubles one tends to experiences.
