Psychotropic Drugs: A Practical Guide for Use in Dermatology

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In the routine clinical practice in dermatology, there is a high burden of psychiatric morbidity due to primary psychiatric disorders that secondarily affect the skin or dermatological disorders that secondarily can have a profound psychosocial and mental health impact. We present a narrative review on the use of psychotropic drugs, with the aim of addressing the intersection between mental health and dermatology. The article aims to be a practical guide, providing clear and concise recommendations on the indications, dosing, adverse effects, special considerations, or contraindications of the most widely used drugs today, with the goal of providing dermatologists with the basic tools for the appropriate global therapeutic management of these patients.
