Resumen
El vitíligo es una enfermedad dermatológica frecuente que afecta a alrededor del 1% de la población mundial. Aunque no es considerada una enfermedad con riesgo de morbimortalidad elevado, se ha evidenciado que puede asociarse con manifestaciones psicopatológicas diversas que pudieran ser una consecuencia de la misma. En el presente artículo se lleva a cabo una revisión de las evidencias actuales sobre la relación existente entre el vitíligo, los parámetros definitorios de calidad de vida, la presencia de trastornos afectivos y el posible vínculo con el aumento del riesgo de ideación suicida. Es claro que la identificación de los factores de riesgo es de suma utilidad para que los profesionales de la dermatología puedan detectar pacientes que deban ser manejados psicológicamente de manera concomitante.Citas
