• Abstract:

  To analyze, in scientific productions, the influence of emotional aspects on psychodermatoses, dermatological conditions influenced by emotional factors, such as stress, anxiety and depression. Methodology: This is an integrative bibliographic review with searches in the databases, PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar, using the terms “Psychiatric”, “disorders”, “psychodermatoses”, “emotional”, “aspects”, “anxiety disorder”, “depression”, “stress” in the last five years. Results: 502 articles were found from the descriptors used, but after applying the filters of the last five years this research universe fell to 118 articles, which after initial reading were discarded because they did not correspond to the focus of this review, thus remaining 15 articles that can contribute to the objectives of this research. Conclusion: It is essential that public health policies recognize the importance of comprehensive care for dermatoses and support the adequate training of health professionals. Only this way can we continually improve the treatment and well-being of patients, considering both the physical and emotional aspects of their skin health. This research reminds us that, as health professionals, our commitment must be to the comprehensive care of our patients, recognizing that mind and skin are intertwined in a complex relationship that deserves our full attention and care. It is clear that interdisciplinary collaboration between dermatologists, psychologists and psychiatrists is essential to effectively deal with patients' emotional issues.
