  • Summary

  • It can be overwhelming to learn you have psoriasis — but understanding what it is (and isn’t), how it’s treated, and what to expect along the way can help. In this episode, patients share what they wish they knew after they were diagnosed — and doctors share key things every psoriasis patient should know and do.

    “Number one, it’s not your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t ask for this. You have an autoimmune disease,” says Tami Seretti, who was first diagnosed with psoriasis in 1996.

    Among the highlights in this episode:

    1:50 – Psoriasis is hereditary

    2:39 – The three main approaches to treating psoriasis

    3:06 – The root cause: an overactive immune system

    5:16 – Why did my psoriasis suddenly show up out of nowhere?

    8:49 – Psoriasis can be associated with other diseases

    11:31- It takes courage and bravery for a patient to find successful treatment
