Psoriasis Awareness Week 2025
It's Psoriasis Awareness Week 2025 which will run from Wednesday 29th October - Tuesday 4th November.
This year our theme is Comorbidities of Psoriasis.
What does this mean?
Comorbidities are the presence of one or more additional diseases or disorders that occur in someone, alongside already living with psoriasis. In a nutshell, it relates to conditions that you are more likely to have due to psoriasis.
This includes conditions such as Psoriatic Arthritis, Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes and of course, the mental health impact that living with psoriasis may have, such as low self esteem, feelings of isolation and loneliness and anxiety and depression.
We're looking for people to share their stories about their experience of living with psoriasis and other related conditions, either in written form or as a video so that we can share them throughout the week.
Get in touch with us on mail@psoriasis-association.org.uk to share your story.
You can also see more of our plans throughout the week on this webpage as we update it.
