Online psychological consultation

Psychodermatology is a field that deals with psychological problems that are a secondary consequence of skin diseases or a primary problem and have a direct impact on the course of skin disorders. The therapy is aimed at patients who, in addition to dermatological treatment, also need psychological support. Psychological factors play a significant role in most dermatological diseases and there is a correlation between stressful events and exacerbation of skin symptoms. As studies show, psychological and psychiatric factors are an important aspect in about 30% of dermatological patients, which is a significant number and justifies the cooperation of dermatologists and psychologists.

Psychotrichology is a new field on the border of medicine and psychology, focusing on the psychosomatic aspects of hair and scalp diseases. Patients who report to a dermatologist or trichologist, in addition to problems related to the scalp and hair, often struggle with other symptoms resulting from emotional stress. A comprehensive approach to the patient takes into account the influence of personality and social factors and comprehensive therapy for hair growth disorders. Often, scalp disease occurs as a result of acute or chronic stress, which prompts the search for pathogenetic mechanisms in the sphere of mental and emotional disorders. Therefore, the assessment of the patient’s mental state is very important. Psychotrichological consultation focuses on psychosomatic symptoms in the field of trichological diseases and disorders and finding the causes and disorders, identifying their basis.
