Dermatology as a branch is a panoramic canvas with a spectrum of manifestation, and psychodermatology is one emerging paradigm in its epicentre. Traditionally, it was thought that psychiatrists deal with "internal" nonvisible disease, while dermatology centres around "external" visible dermatoses and cosmetic disfigurement, hence, with this belief, psychodermatology appeared as an oxymoron to many. Management of psychodermatological disorders requires a multidisciplinary approach, which includes a combination of psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and timely referral as and when needed. The commonly available psychotherapeutics at the disposal of dermatologists include antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anxiolytics and sedative-hypnotics, the last three of which have been focused in this part of the review.
皮肤病学作为一个分支，是一幅展现各种表现形式的全景画卷，而心理皮肤病学则是其核心领域中一个新兴的范例。传统上，人们认为精神科医生处理“内在”不可见的疾病，而皮肤病学则围绕“外在”可见的皮肤病和容貌毁损展开，因此，基于这种观念，心理皮肤病学对许多人来说似乎是一个矛盾的术语。心理皮肤病学疾病的管理需要多学科方法，这包括心理药理学、心理治疗以及在需要时及时转诊相结合。皮肤科医生常用的心理治疗药物包括抗抑郁药、心境稳定剂、抗精神病药、抗焦虑药和镇静催眠药，本综述的这一部分重点关注了后三种药物。
