Randomized controlled trials and prospective comparative cohort studies in adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis were included. Frequentist random-effects NMA was conducted at mechanism and drug levels, with network incoherence, sensitivity analyses, risk of bias, and certainty of evidence assessed. Skin-response associations and clinically interpretable psychological outcomes were additionally summarized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight studies involving 4,319 patients were included. At the mechanism level, all biologic classes significantly improved depression and anxiety symptoms versus placebo. For depression, IL-12\/23 inhibitors had the largest estimate [standardized mean difference (SMD)\u2009=\u20090.677, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.473, 0.881]; for anxiety, IL-23 (SMD=0.457, 95%CI: 0.304, 0.610) and IL-12\/23 (SMD=0.457, 95%CI: 0.335, 0.579) inhibitors had similar estimates. At the drug level, several agents showed benefit, but rankings were uncertain because networks were sparse and certainty ranged from high to low. Within-study and exploratory comparison-level analyses indicated that psychological improvement generally accompanied skin improvement, yet the two were not strictly proportional.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Biologic therapy was associated with short-term improvement in depressive and anxiety symptoms in moderate-to-severe psoriasis, supporting mental health as a relevant component of overall treatment benefit.
