More Evidence That Acne and Depression are Linked Together
Posted in Dermatology on December 3, 2010
Depression in people with acne has been linked to treatment with isotretinoin (Accutane), but more and more evidence links depression and suicide with acne itself. This risk may be the greatest during the teenage years. This is all the more reason to treat acne as a serious medical condition and not just a cosmetic issue. Many options are available and specialized treatment plan can be found for each person.
