TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Consequences of psychological distress in adolescents with acne JO - Journal of investigative dermatology A1 - Misery, Laurent SP - 290 EP - 292 VL - 131 IS - 2 N2 - Acne may cause psychological distress that is associated with many psychiatric disorders. In this issue, Halvorsen et al. report suicidal ideation, mental health problems, and affective isolation to be relatively frequent in adolescents with acne. This report suggests that adverse events that have been attributed to therapies for acne, including suicidal ideation and depression, may reflect the burden of substantial acne rather than the effect of medications.
