Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic skin condition that adversely affects the quality of life due to physical changes and subsequent mental health consequences of eczema. There is a need to highlight the psychological comorbidities of eczema and their impact on quality of life. Most of the emerging detail requires testing findings of recent studies in addition to further exploration that can be taken together, it might be sensible to monitor the general health of individuals with eczema. This mini review briefly discusses the psychological comorbidities such as sleep disturbance, psychological distress and suicidal ideation in eczema patients. Further researches need efforts to address the short and long term mental health consequences and how novel treatment options may potentially be helpful in improving of the quality of life of eczema patients.
