Tratamiento con psicofármacos de los trastornos psicodermatológicos

Psychotropic drugs act by correcting the chemical changes associated with mental disorders and their symptoms. The use of such drugs in medical specialties other than psychiatry is not new and has been growing since a relationship has been demonstrated between mental states and the skin. Besides the so-called psychodermatoses, there are many skin diseases directly related to stress. For this reason, and in view of the reluctance of many patients to consult a psychiatrist, all dermatologists should have a basic understanding of the pharmacology and use of psychotropic drugs.
