The presentation of psychiatric illness to the dermatologist
Abstract
An account is given of the manner in which patients suffering from psychoneurosis and psychoses present to the Dermatologist. Cases of monosymptomatic hypochondriasis, trichorrhexis nodosa in an obsessional neurotic, acne excoriée, schizophrenia, depression and delusions of infestation are described. The value of modern neuroleptic drugs in the management of monosymptomatic hypochondriasis in cluding delusions of infestation is confirmed.
