    Author: Di Prima TM, De Pasquale R, Gilotta SM, Cravotta A.
    Journal: G Ital Dermatol Venereol; 1989 Apr; 124(4):147-50. PubMed ID: 2572543.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to approach on a psychical point of view 27 patients suffering from chronic idiopathic urticaria (14), pruritus sine materia (6), alopecia areata (3), pathomimia (4), in order to examine the possibility that psychic disorders could act as triggering or aggravating the dermatological affection. Psychical assessment was evaluated by colloquy and by the administration of some psychodiagnostic tests: EPI, MMPI, Zung. The role of psychogenic factors in skin diseases is emphasized and the results obtained from the use of antidepressant and minor tranquilizer drugs are discussed.
