Psychological stress can exacerbate pruritus worsen conditions, yet psychological aspects are often insufficiently addressed in clinical routine. While psychodermatological treatments becoming more available German-speaking countries, they mostly confined to specialized clinics, limiting access for many patients. This study aims explore the unmet needs patients with regions assess potential role telemedicine bridging existing care gaps. Methods: Patients were invited via Network People Autoimmune Diseases participate free video consultations licensed psychotherapist. Quantitative data on disease, pruritus, distress analyzed alongside qualitative feedback from surveys. Results: Of 174 individuals who received newsletter, 124 opened it, 16 engaged scheduling link. Over one month, five (mean age 40.4 years, all female) participated consultations. All had under dermatological but felt treated by approaches alone. Barriers multimodal included lack awareness, distance long waiting times. Three participants reported an average intensity 75/100 Visual Analog Scale (VAS). factors identified as significant contributors participants. Post-consultation, 4/5 completed survey, reporting high levels (average 74/100 VAS) favoring online or hybrid treatment options. Conclusions: Dermatological alone fails address diseases. These findings emphasize need integrated treatment, offering valuable avenue improve foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

Stress mental illness can directly or indirectly affect disease, while dermatological conditions, known to impair life quality well‐being, promote conditions. Objectives aim of this study was assess risk developing among adult patients over a period time. secondary objective see which disorders developed most commonly, diseases posed greatest for later health issues. Methods Adult were followed 9 years (2008–2016) using Norwegian Patient Registry, both outpatient inpatient specialist healthcare services. Dermatological identified first 2 then prospectively next 7 years. Cox regression models applied estimate risks with diseases. Estimates adjusted age gender differences. Hazard ratios (HR) 95% CI are reported. Results depressive frequently (4.1% vs. 2.3% in non‐dermatological participants), by anxiety (3.3% 1.8%), adjustment (2.6% 1.5%).
