Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease that commonly affects patients. In addition to its effects on the skin, it has also been associated with other physical, psychosocial, and economic burdens along with numerous debilitating comorbidities. More recently, research has focused on the psychosocial and mental health aspect of atopic dermatitis, which has remained controversial. We reviewed the current literature and have discussed the association of atopic dermatitis with suicide, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and schizophrenia.
