Review outlines updated classification and workup for psychodermatologic conditions

This review discusses the 2023 EADV/ESDaP/APMNA consensus classification of psychodermatologic conditions, which divides them into primary psychiatric disorders with skin manifestations versus primary dermatoses with psychiatric impact. The authors present a stepwise diagnostic framework using validated screening instruments, grounded in neuroimmune mechanisms of the mind-skin axis, and outline treatment approaches stratified by category along with thresholds for referral to psychiatry. The review states that psychiatric comorbidities affect one-third of dermatology patients but remain underrecognized.

Most relevant for: Dermatology patients with comorbid psychiatric conditions affecting or manifesting in the skin.
