Skin issues and mental health?

I heard this weird stat on TV last night so I thought I'd verify...do I have too much time on my hands. Not really. Finished work at 9 last night and back at it at 8 this morning. Not so bad. Had a light couple days before.

Anyway, turns out that people who seek care from a dermatologist are much more likely to be on psychotropic meds.
Weird correlation but here's a little synopsis of the study.

Perhaps some people are more likely to ask for help with their health (skin and psyche)? Maybe some people just want won't settle for looking and feeling better?

What is the correlation?

Off to work. Have a good one.
