lüll Acne in adolescents: quality of life, self-esteem, mood, and psychological disorders Dunn LK; O'Neill JL; Feldman SRDermatol Online J 2011[Jan]; 17 (1): 1INTRODUCTION: Acne is a significant adolescent problem and may precipitate emotional and psychological effects. The impact of acne on psychological parameters and implications for acne treatment are not fully understood. METHODS: We performed a MEDLINE search using the terms "acne" and "adolescent" along with "psychological," "depression," or "psychiatric," which yielded 16 reviewed studies. RESULTS: Qualitative review of the selected articles revealed that the presence of acne has a significant impact on self-esteem and quality of life. Depression and other psychological disorders are more prevalent in acne patients and acne treatment may improve symptoms of these disorders. LIMITATIONS: The reviewed studies were semi-quantitative analyses utilizing various standardized surveys or questionnaires. Therefore, quantitative analysis of selected studies was not possible. CONCLUSION: The presence of co-morbid psychological disorders should be considered in the treatment of acne patients and future prospective trials are needed to assess the impact of treatment on psychological outcomes.|*Affect[MESH]|*Psychology, Adolescent[MESH]|*Quality of Life[MESH]|*Self Concept[MESH]|Acne Vulgaris/*psychology[MESH]|Adolescent[MESH]|Depression/etiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Personality[MESH]|Suicidal Ideation[MESH] |
