Dear Peers & Colleagues,

 

Skin health is not just skin deep — it’s deeply connected to our psychological well-being.

 

We are thrilled to introduce you to the inaugural celebration of World Psychodermatology Day, taking place on Saturday, November 18, 2023 and celebrated under the auspice of the APNMA, GlobalSkin and IFPA with partner societies from around the world

 

Psychodermatology bridges the gap between dermatology and psychiatry, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange. Join experts, researchers, clinicians, and enthusiasts to explore how the mind influences skin health. Expect thought-provoking presentations, captivating discussions, and engaging workshops. Themes covered includes:

 

Mental Health in Chronic Dermatoses. We will explore the intricate relationship between mental health and chronic dermatoses in this enlightening symposium. Delve into the emotional impact and therapeutic insights for conditions like acne, alopecia areata, psoriasis, and vitiligo

 

Psychiatric Diseases in Dermatology. We will uncover the nexus of psychiatric diseases and dermatology at this symposium. Gain invaluable insights into the management of dermatological delusional disorders, bridging the gap between mental health and skin care

 

Psychodermatology in Cosmetic Dermatology. We will unlock the secrets of the mind-skin connection at our scientific symposium on psychodermatology in cosmetic dermatology. Delve into the psychology of beauty and well-being, exploring how emotional factors influence cosmetic dermatology outcomes

 

Psychodermatology around the World. We will embark on a global journey through the fascinating realm of psychodermatology at this symposium. Join us in forging a united path towards global solutions for a shared concern – the intersection of mental health and dermatology

 

This day is an opportunity for dermatologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and anyone interested in the psychology-dermatology intersection to deepen their understanding and improve patient care. We’re honored to have GlobalSkin and IFPA bringing invaluable patient perspectives to our discussions, ensuring a holistic approach to psychodermatology.

 

Together, we will unlock new possibilities in patient care and well-being.
