Impact of Skin Conditions on Mental Health

Abstract

This study explores the impact of skin conditions on the mental health of young adults by examining the detrimental effects of different beauty standards in our society. Measures such as the Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, and the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire were employed to assess a sample of 100 young adults with skin conditions (both males and females) selected through convenience random sampling. Karl Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed significant associations between self-esteem and social interaction anxiety, self-esteem and automatic thoughts, and social interaction anxiety and automatic thoughts.
