Introduction: Due to the complexity of the interactions between psychiatric disorders and dermatopathies, the relationship between mental health and dermatology has been increasingly recognized. In order to provide unrestricted care to patients and create effective therapeutic methods, it is essential to understand these links. Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out with the aim of identifying recent studies that examined the relationship between mental health and dermatology. These studies focused on the relationship between psychiatric disorders and dermatopathies in adults. The articles chosen were examined thoroughly to find patterns, underlying factors and clinical implications. Results: The studies reviewed showed a bidirectional relationship between dermatology and mental health. Dermatopathies were associated with a higher risk of developing psychiatric problems such as depression and anxiety. On the other hand, dermatological conditions can cause the onset or worsening of mental health problems. Psychosocial factors, such as stress and low self-esteem, also influence this. Conclusion: The description of the relationship between dermatology and mental health highlights the need for an integrated approach to treating patients. The results of the review show that interventions for dermatological conditions must take into account both physical and emotional aspects in order to improve patients' quality of life and achieve better clinical outcomes. In addition, properly identifying and treating dermatological patients' mental health problems is essential for a complete and effective approach to caring for these patients.
