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.
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.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
