Patients with acne increasingly face mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. However, no global systematic analysis exists on this topic.
To examine the prevalence of mental disorders - specifically, anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts - among patients with acne.
An exhaustive search of six databases was conducted up to May 2023. Data analysis was performed using Python and Stata MP 17, including subgroup evaluations, metaregression and sensitivity analyses.
Forty-three studies were analysed. The findings indicate that depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in patients with acne are prevalent at rates of 22%, 29% and 12%, respectively. Rates of depression were highest in Asia at 42%, led by India (53%) and Saudi Arabia (51%). Anxiety was also most common in Asia, at 45%, notably in Singapore (60%) and Iran (58%). Suicidal thoughts were highest in Oceania, specifically New Zealand at 24%. The study is limited by the inclusion of only Chinese- and English-language research, potentially introducing selection bias.
The results of this study highlight the incidence of mental health disorders coexisting with acne. This study may help to foster greater understanding and awareness among both medical professionals and patients regarding the psychological complexities tied to acne.
痤疮患者越来越多地面临焦虑、抑郁和自杀念头等心理健康挑战。然而,目前尚无关于该主题的全球系统性分析。
研究痤疮患者中精神障碍——特别是焦虑、抑郁和自杀念头——的患病率。
截至2023年5月,对六个数据库进行了详尽检索。使用Python和Stata MP 17进行数据分析,包括亚组评估、元回归和敏感性分析。
分析了43项研究。结果表明,痤疮患者中抑郁、焦虑和自杀念头的患病率分别为22%、29%和12%。亚洲的抑郁症患病率最高,为42%,以印度(53%)和沙特阿拉伯(51%)为首。焦虑在亚洲也最为常见,为45%,特别是在新加坡(60%)和伊朗(58%)。自杀念头在大洋洲最高,特别是新西兰,为24%。该研究的局限性在于仅纳入了中文和英文研究,可能存在选择偏倚。
本研究结果凸显了与痤疮共存的心理健康障碍的发生率。本研究可能有助于增进医学专业人员和患者对痤疮相关心理复杂性的理解和认识。
