Oral lichen planus: can we associate it with psychological states (anxiety and depression)? a case report

Many factors have been studied in order to identify the causes of oral lichen planus (OLP), such as use of drugs, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and hepatitis C virus infection. Some researchers have been trying to find a connection between psychological states and OLP. The authors report a case of a 36-year-old female patient who went to the stomatology care service complaining of a "white ball on the tongue," which was causing her some discomfort over a year. During anamnesis, the patient reported taking lithium and bupropion (treating depression and anxiety, respectively).
