Depressed because of that pimple on your chin

I am happily blessed with a fairly clear and even skin. But such a party hasn't always been the case. In fact, in the past, I was regularly plagued by some craters on my forehead. And that was still in the period when the concealer pot was not yet part of my morning routine (because: too young). Anyway, pimples, they are the most normal thing in the world and yet they make us intensely unhappy. Those who are bullied by the misery are even more susceptible to developing depression. This is evident from a Canadian study published in the scientific journal the British Journal of Dermatology.

A team of scientists at the University of Calgary in Canada delved into personal data from a British database. Of the people in the file, over 130,000 men and women between the ages of 7 and 50 suffered from pimples, while over 1.5 million people had no acne. The scientists followed the participants for fifteen years to see what acne does to someone's mood, and they came to a striking conclusion.

During the period of the study, it became clear that people who suffer a lot from an impure skin had a greater chance (18.5 percent) of becoming depressed. Among those without pimples, the risk of depression was also present, but significantly lower (12 percent). The scientists also found that the increased risk of depression persisted for the first five years after diagnosis. The risk was highest in the first year afterwards. At that time, someone with acne had no less than 63 percent more chance of becoming depressed compared to a man or woman without pimples.

The reason for this increased chance is still unclear, but lead researcher Isabelle A. Vallerand was shocked by the clear link between acne and depression. So we better be extra kind to ourselves when another throbbing specimen appears on your chin (Yoohoo, where are you?). Not too much of course, even better you slide the right vitamins onto your plate and the misery is gone before Tony you know it And if the damage is already done, there are always remedies that help you get rid of it quickly.
