Antidepressants for psoriasis

Posted Mon 12 Nov 2018 01.00 by theislands

Hi, Im 26 and three weeks ago my face and scalp started to become super itchy and I noticed small spots all over my body. My forehead and face is now completely covered and I have large patches all over my body. Today I was diagnosed with psoriasis and they told me it was probably linked to stress (pressure at home/work). I'm already a natural worrier and my anxiety levels have been through the roof. The Dr discussed putting me on anti-depressants to deal with it. Does anyone have any experience with them? I've been reading up on them and they seem to make you feel worse/numb? However, the logic is that by managing the stress, it will make the psoriasis subside?
