Psychiatry and the skin.
Many patients with emotional, psychological and frank psychiatric problems present in disguise to the dermatologist. It is important that the dermatologist recognizes such patients and institutes appropriate therapy. A liaison clinic is particularly helpful in the management of more difficult patients, such as those with delusional disease or profound depression.
