Mental Health (Part 3) - Mind-skin connections

In this third instalment of our series on mental health and the skin, we, Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson, are joined once again by special guest Professor Anthony Bewley, a distinguished authority in the field of psychodermatology. 

In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of mental health conditions that manifest through the skin. Drawing from Professor Bewley's wealth of experience, we’ll explore conditions such as the obsessive compulsive disorder, trichotillosis and body dysmorphic disorder, shedding light on the complex psychological factors underlying these dermatological manifestations, that are expressed through the skin.

As the episode progresses, we’ll reflect on the key takeaways from this series on mental health and the skin and how treating both the psychological and the dermatological aspects leads to a more comprehensive and rapid resolution. Tune in and join us for an insightful summary on managing mental health implications linked to skin disease, in primary care.
