Investigated the psychiatric history of patients with severe Darier’s disease & a control group of patients with comparably severe dermatologic disorders. 3 patients with Darier’s reported a suicide attempt (1 patient) or a specific suicide plan (2), compared with 1 patient in the control group. Of 11 patients with Darier’s, 7 had a history of suicidal thoughts, compared with 3 of 11 in the control group. Thus suicidal ideation is a potential problem in patients with cutaneous illnesses.
