A neuropsychiatrist's perspective on selected dermatoses.
Many neuropsychiatric diseases present with concomitant dermatologic manifestations. These manifestations may help the clinician formulate a correct diagnosis when it is otherwise unclear. In this article, we present six cases with clinical photographs of associated skin findings discussed from a neuropsychiatrist's perspective. Each case will be followed by a discussion and a brief review of the associated neuropsychiatric and dermatologic aspects of the disease.
