Joey’s Psoriasis
Joey's Psoriasis
“ Psoriasis is a common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that often comes and goes.” Mayo Clinic
Some studies have suggested that psoriasis can contribute significantly to depression in children, suggesting children with psoriasis are twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression than the norm.
“If you combine those feelings with comments made by peers, psoriasis can cause your child to suffer depression and feelings of isolation.” Healthline.com
Kids can be cruel, sometimes intentionally but most often unintentionally. This book provides a simplistic explanation of psoriasis. When children understand that psoriasis is not contagious and have even a rudimentary understanding of the disease they are far less likely to tease children with psoriasis. Greater acceptance by their peers can hopefully alleviate the onset of depression.
Available on Amazon in both Paperback and Kindle
