Fact: Cytokines can make you depressed.
It's so let's talk about the cytokine theory of depression and the link between psoriasis and mental health.

What are cytokines?
🦠Immune cells release massive amounts of cytokines when they are under attack.
🦠Cytokines cause inflammation, activate other immune cells, and are the first response in a full-force immune reaction. In any disease that increases inflammation, these cytokines can negatively affect mood.

What happens in Psoriasis?
πŸ’₯In psoriasis, overactive white blood cells produce excessive cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-17 (IL-6).
πŸ’₯These molecules trigger inflammation in various organs and expedite skin cell growth, leading to common physical symptoms associated with psoriasis.

How do Cytokines affect mood?
🦠 Cytokines mean well, but their inflammation is non-specific. Even if they are released in the skin, they can travel throughout the body and affect multiple organs.
🧠 One of these organs is the brain, chronic stress and inflammation can lead to depression. Specifically, cytokines inhibit glutamine, decrease serotonin, cause neurotoxicity, and decrease neuron remodeling.
🧠🧠 Cytokines cause increased activity in the basal ganglia causing fatigue, this is the most prominent feature of cytokine-induced depression.
πŸ§ͺ Important: This is a CHEMICAL reaction. Depression is not anyone's fault.

Good News:
🧠πŸ₯° Evidence shows that improvement of psoriasis and reduction of inflammation drastically improve mood. No doubt because of decreased inflammation, besides, who wouldn’t be thrilled to clear up their psoriasis.
