Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Yes, just as we have: psycho-somatic disorders where the mind creates bodily problems, we also have somato-psychic disorders where a physical condition generates emotional issues such as depression or anxiety. Please work w/a dermatologist, nutritional consultant, and a mental health professional. That's a lot but the probability of success will increase that way. Peace and good health.
