Psoriasis? Did you know it is a chronic inflammatory immune system disorder. Psoriasis is often triggered by chronic stress and can lead to severe depression. Many researchers have recently examined the role of serotonin and its expression on skin cells as well as its correlation to cortisol levels and depressive symptoms, and the results are profound. One study of patients with chronic plaque psoriasis found a positive correlation between serotonin-positive cells in the psoriatic skin and a negative correlation between the same cells and salivary cortisol levels, which suggests that chronic stress and serotonin expression are associated. Want to know your serotonin level? Its a simple urine test.
