Abstract

In April 2019, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) released a set of guidelines regarding the management of psoriasis with a focus on its extracutaneous manifestations—comorbidities, mental health, psychosocial wellness, and quality of life (QOL). These guidelines provide the most up-to-date evidence on the screening and treatment recommendations for these disease comorbidities. The purpose of this review is C to present the recommendations in a form that can be easily applied in clinical practice.
