It has been suggested that skin disease and psychological disturbance may be linked. Recent work has focused on the fatal outcome associated with some dermatological disorders as a result of suicide. The impressions of dermatologists about how much psychological or psychiatric morbidity they see related to dermatological disease has not been addressed. The survey reported here revealed that most dermatologists recognized the relationship and demonstrated the perceived need for clinical psychology and psychiatric services for patients with dermatological disorders. It confirmed the impression that in a small number of cases, skin complaints are associated with attempted or completed suicide.
有人提出皮肤病与心理障碍可能有关联。近期的研究聚焦于一些皮肤病导致自杀的致命后果。皮肤科医生对于他们所见到的与皮肤病相关的心理或精神疾病发病率的看法尚未得到探讨。此处报告的调查显示，大多数皮肤科医生认识到这种关联，并表明认为有必要为皮肤病患者提供临床心理学和精神病学服务。调查证实了这样一种看法，即在少数情况下，皮肤问题与自杀未遂或自杀成功有关。
