Prevalence and economic burden of comorbid anxiety and depression among patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Conclusions: The prevalence of psychiatric disorders is higher among PsO patients than the general population, and the incremental burden of treated anxiety/depression is substantial. Further research is needed, but PsO treatments that improve psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety/depression may benefit patients and reduce their economic burden.
