Emotional support and coping techniques
This topic is a place to express your feelings about having psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis and offer support to others. Here you can share your coping skills or discuss your specific challenges. Discussions of conventional medical treatments (such as antidepressants and talk therapy) for clinical depression are welcome on this topic. However, please use the complementary and alternative topic to talk about nontraditional approaches, such as herbal remedies.
