Abstract
Dermatologists often encounter a patient who presents with an illness that overlaps
both psychiatric and dermatologic specialties. Psychodermatology patients range from
straightforward (i.e., trichotillomania, onychophagia, excoriation disorder) to challenging
(i.e., body dysmorphic disorder) to highly challenging (i.e., delusions of parasitosis).
Many refuse to see psychiatrists. As such, the only chance that many of these patients
will receive treatment is if the dermatologist is willing to prescribe psychiatric
medications to them. We review five common psychodermatologic disorders and how to
treat them. We discuss some commonly prescribed psychiatric medications and provide
the busy dermatologist with a few psychiatric tools in the dermatologic toolbox.
