| Sumario: | Vitiligo is the most frequent depigmentation disorder of the skin, with an incidence of up to 2% of the population. Although it is considered only an aesthetic condition, since it does not impact on the physical integrity of the patient, studies indicate a correlation between this chronic disease and psychological suffering, such as anxiety and depression. This study used the online application tool “Google Forms” and aimed to: 1) examine the occurrence of psychiatric morbidity in patients with vitiligo; 2) identify the severity of discomfort attributed to the presence of spots in different body regions; and 3) correlate discomfort attributed to the location of the spot, self-esteem, psychiatric comorbidities in general, and particularly depression. 114 questionnaires of adult women aged 18-64 years were analyzed. The results show that high intensities of discomfort were associated with areas of greatest social exposure; and 42.8% participants showed depression´s indicators and 18.4% reached scores related with low self-esteem. Keywords: vitiligo; depression; self-esteem. |
