Background: Central nervous system and skin are derived from ectoderm and due to same origin are known to have co-morbid conditions. Psychological stress may lead to skin conditions and primary dermatological diseases may lead to depression and anxiety due to visible cosmetic flaws. Poor self-care due to other psychiatric conditions may lead to skin problems. The study was done to study correlation between tinea and anxiety and depression. Method: The study was conducted in Dermatology department with department of Psychiatry of a tertiary care hospital where patients were recruited after consent, with convenience sampling. 60 patients, after being diagnosed with tinea were screened for anxiety and depression using HAM-A and HAM-D respectively. Results:60 patients were recruited out of which 40 were females. Mean age was 40.05 years. 25% were illiterate. Majority in the considered sample population were married (66.7%), unemployed (78.3%) and only 21.7% were employed. Mean duration of tinea in patients is 18.9 months. 61.7% of the study population had anxiety and depression. Out of them mild anxiety (48.3%) and mild depression (61.7%) was found in majority. Conclusion:Correlation of anxiety and depression with tinea has been found high with increased emphasis on duration of tinea infection. Advanced age does not increase the presence of psychopathology in later age group. Anxiety was more in females with tinea. Significant correlation between depression and anxiety was found in unemployed patients.
