Stressful Life Factors (SLF) -- Psoriasis in young adults

Caption

New research in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology reveals that severe stress, such as changes in family structure like divorce or separation, experienced during the first year of life may triple the risk of developing psoriasis later in life. The findings emphasize the need to protect young children from stressful life factors that threaten their security and emotional well-being.
