“…High interest was seen in learning more about trichotillomania, anxiety secondary to skin diseases as well as adjustment/depression disorders due to skin diseases. This is similar to a number of studies that demonstrated trichotillomania, anxiety, and depression linked to skin diseases as PD top learning priorities of dermatologists 17 …”

“…15 Other studies reported the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in dermatology clinics to be around 25% to 30%. 17 It is worth noting that the level of experience and years of practice in our study influenced the observation and identification of psychocutaneous conditions diagnosed by dermatologists (P = .03).…”

“…In the current study, 23.1% of dermatologists expressed being comfortable or somewhat comfortable when treating PD conditions which positively correlated with their years of experience ( r = 0‐24, P = .01).

“…Referral rates of patients to psychiatrists and compliance of those patients to be consulted by a psychiatrist depend on the knowledge and educational levels of patients and physicians alike and the role of cultural acceptance cannot be ignored. 17 Strikingly, 60% of the survey population had no experience with any formal CME (continuing medical education) events or training courses related to psychodermatology during their medical school or residency years.

The merging of psychiatry and dermatology has resulted in a relatively newer emerging field known as psychodermatology (PD). The aim of this cross sectional study was to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns of Egyptian dermatologists towards psychodermatology. A cross sectional study was designed and data were collected using structured self-administered online questionnaires. A total of 212 dermatologists completed the full questionnaire. Those with incomplete or partially answered responses were excluded. 171 (81.1%) were females and 40 (18.9%) were males. The majority (n = 109;51.4%) of dermatologists completing the survey were between 30 and 40 years age group while those between 40 and 50 years of age accounted for 48 (22.6%). The vast majority of respondent dermatologists never referred (n = 87; 41%) or very rarely referred (n = 58; 27.5%) any psychocutaneous patients to a psychiatrist. Almost 75% of responding dermatologists were not aware of available community or educational resources for PD and 157 (74.1%) expressed interest in receiving continuing medical education (CME) programs. In conclusion, psychodermatology training among dermatologists shall enhance and improve their approach to psychocutaneous conditions.
