Most often severe stress or depression shows on skin and the impact of skin problems reverts back to worsen depression. However, the new refuge is reported to be in psychodermatology, a field that apparently merges psychiatry and dermatology and claims to relieve mental stress through relaxation, biofeedback, self-hypnosis or psychotherapy to deliver a healthy skin. Facts provide that both external stress as well as internal stress rob the skin of its glow, in the latter case lack of sleep, secretion of stress hormones and anti-depressants makes the skin look lifeless.
However, psychodermatalogy is an old science to make skin stress-free, but unfortunately few know about it. Therefore most of the patients suffering from acne are reported to have resorted to botox, the consumption of which has led many acne patients commit suicide.
Research reveals that pshychodermatology with its specific approaches towards psychophysiologic disorders, primary psychiatric disorders and secondary psychiatric disorders has cured skin disorders like acne, psoriasis, rosacea, hives, trichotillomania, so on and so forth.
Any psychotherapy that claims to relieve the mind with music, biofeedback, massage and muscle relaxation without side effects on both mind and skin can throw a challenge to dozen anti-depressants and more than invite a safe and soothing recovery of mind for a glowing skin.
