Psychological Support
for Vitiligo
Counselling, CBT or peer support groups for the significant psychological impact of vitiligo. Vitiligo affects 16-35% of patients with psychiatric morbidity including depression and anxiety. Psychological wellbeing is integral to quality of life.
How it works
Vitiligo causes visible skin changes that can significantly impact self-image, social confidence and mental health. Psychological support directly addresses these impacts and can also reduce stress-triggered disease progression.
What to watch for
Seeking support for the emotional impact of vitiligo is valid and important - not a sign of weakness. GP referral may be available for Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan in Australia.
