Living with Psoriasis

Living with psoriasis presents a variety of challenges. It has an emotional impact as well as a physical one and can cause a great deal of stress. Depending on the time of year, or what stage of life you are at, there are also different considerations to keep in mind.

Managing the emotional impact of psoriasis

At times, your psoriasis flare-ups may be mild and difficult for others to see, but at other times, they may be more serious and obvious to all. Medical conditions that are outwardly visible bring their own set of challenges.

Turn down your stress meter

Stress is bad for your health - we've all heard this from our doctors or on TV. But did you know that stress directly affects your psoriasis as well?

Caring for your psoriasis during the winter

Winter weather may make it harder to care for your psoriasis. Darker days and drier air can work against you. But there are ways to manage.

Seniors and psoriasis

Living with psoriasis as a senior presents its own set of challenges. Make sure that you manage your condition as best as you can.
