The appearance of visible skin lesions and its chronic progression may cause a significant burden on patients' health-related quality of life and psychiatric morbidity may arise as a complication.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An endeavor has been made to find out how the disease influences the quality of life of affected persons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This was a hospital based cross sectional study.

In selected cases Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire was used for the assessment of quality of life. Also International classification of mental and behavioral disorders research criteria along with 17-item Hamilton Rating scale of Depression were applied to diagnose the presence of depression.
