Abstract

Abstract : ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune, and inflammatory disorder that impacts the skin and joints, with the propensity to produce devastating psychosocial, economic, and occupational effects. These are often not solitary; for example, psychological manifestations may impact one's occupational and economic statuses. The purpose of this review is to raise awareness of these consequences of disease that clinicians may consider incorporating into a patient-centered model of care.
