Mental Health (Part 2) - Think skin, think mental health

Trigger Warning: In this episode, there is mention of suicide and self-harm, which we appreciate may be disturbing for some listeners. Please listen at your own discretion.

You’re not alone. In this episode Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson are once again joined by Professor Anthony Bewley, a world authority on the link between the skin and the mind, to discuss the devastating statistics that show the impact skin conditions can have on mental health.

The reason you’re not alone? Whether it’s atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne or vitiligo (to name a few!), the stats all show alarmingly high levels of stress, anxiety, depression, discrimination and stigmatisation.

The trio are here to remind you...

Your feelings are valid and should be heard
Healthcare professionals can help
Don’t suffer in silence
Getting your skin condition under control is a huge part of improving your mental wellbeing.

Listen along to feel supported and represented.
