Hormonal disorders in perimenopausal period can affect the mental state of women and psoriasis. The biological cause of psychiatric symptoms in perimenopause is oestrogen deficiency. The decrease in oestrogen level in this period causes depressed mood, anxiety, sleep problems, bad mood, memory problems and general irritability. The most common psychiatric disorder occurring in women in perimenopausal period is depression. It refers to nearly 50% of patients. The reduction in oestrogen levels also affects the skin, causing the occurrence of adverse changes in both the healthy and the affected skin, including worsening of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the skin, not directly threatening the life of those affected, but the disease significantly impacts the patients’ quality of life, which may contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders, including depression. Depression, as compared to psoriasis, may have a dual approach – primary or secondary, in addition both diseases may mutually modulate its course, precede the onset of symptoms, induce further relapses and exacerbations. There is a need to assess the severity of depression among women with psoriasis in perimenopausal period in order to undertake an earlypsychotherapeutic action. Offering support to women suffering from psoriasis in the period around menopause may help to reduce depression and improve the perceived quality of life.

Zaburzenia hormonalne okresu okołomenopauzalnego niekorzystnie wpływają na stan psychiczny kobiety oraz przebieg łuszczycy. Biologiczną przyczyną występowania większości objawów psychicznych w perimenopauzie jest niedobór estrogenów. Obniżenie ich poziomu w tym okresie powoduje nastroje depresyjne, objawy lękowe, problemy ze snem, zły nastrój, kłopoty z pamięcią i ogólne poirytowanie. Najczęstszym zaburzeniem psychicznych występującym u kobiet w okresie okołomenopauzalnym jest depresja. Dotyczy ona blisko 50% pacjentek. Zmniejszenie poziomu estrogenów wpływa również na stan skóry, powodując wystąpienie niekorzystnych zmian, zarówno w zdrowej, jak i zmienionej chorobowo skórze, w tym pogorszenie przebiegu łuszczycy. Łuszczyca jest przewlekłą, zapalną chorobą skóry, niezagrażającą bezpośrednio życiu dotkniętych nią osób, jednak w znacznym stopniu obniżającą komfort życia pacjentów, co może przyczynić się do powstania u chorych osób zaburzeń psychicznych, w tym depresji. Depresja w stosunku do łuszczycy może mieć charakter dwukierunkowy – pierwotny lub wtórny, ponadto obydwa schorzenia mogą wzajemnie modulować swój przebieg – poprzedzać wystąpienie pierwszych objawów, indukować kolejne nawroty i zaostrzenia. Istnieje potrzeba dokonywania oceny nasilenia depresji wśród kobiet chorych na łuszczycę w okresie okołomenopauzalnym, w celu wyodrębnienia spośród nich grupy pacjentek wymagających wczesnego podjęcia działań psychoterapeutycznych. Okazanie wsparcia kobietom chorym na łuszczycę w okresie okołomenopauzalnym może przyczynić się do obniżenia odczuwanej depresji i poprawienia komfortu życia.

Health education is the main, and at the same time, integral part of complementary health promotion. The main assumption underlying the essence of health education is an assertion that the health of individuals and, consequently, of communities they belong to is significantly conditioned by the behaviour of inter-subject variability, which can be pro-healthily shaped by the educational impact. Thanks to transferred knowledge, shaping attitudes and the acquisition of certain skills, patients receive help in coping with health problems which improves their well-being, satisfaction, and the process of recovery. The education of a patient has advantages either in the clinical or social field, hence, it is perceived as an inseparable part of a high-quality healthcare. The importance of health education has been also recognized as one of the main factors that determine the long-term health policy, which indirectly may be reflected in the reduction of costs in the healthcare. In the recent years, more and more emphasis has been placed on preventive and educational aspects of the healthcare. Family medicine, as the source of the initiation of shaping health-oriented attitudes, has a prominent place in the system organized in such a way. In patients' opinion, medical staff is the best and most reliable source of knowledge on health. Such expectations increase the importance of primary care physicians in preventing diseases and shaping health-oriented attitudes in a given society. The main task of a modern health education is primarily to support the creation of conditions for change, the growth competence of individuals and groups in the sphere of independent action for health at different levels of the organization of social life.
