Psoriasis Awareness and Support

Psoriasis is another important skin disease affecting more than one million Canadians, many of whom suffer from the moderate to severe form of the disease. Beyond the physical manifestations, psoriasis sufferers can experience considerable psychological and social effects as they struggle to cope with this chronic, discouraging condition. According to a study conducted by the National Psoriasis Foundation, a vast majority of individuals with psoriasis were frustrated with the ineffectiveness of their treatment and many believed that their treatments were not aggressive enough.
