Do Anxiety And Depression Cause Psoriasis?
I have psoriasis which is an immune deficiency. Can this be related to anxiety, depression, mood swings, dry itchy eyes, toenail fungus/toenail falling off and loss of hair? What specialist do I need to see. My PCP has already ran fasting and thyroid tests and my thyroid levels are fine.
