About this listen

Vitiligo isn’t just skin deep — it’s a full-body story. Almost half of those living with it also face anxiety or depression, tied together by the same stress circuits that link the brain and the skin.

In this episode, we dive into how antidepressants affect both body and mind — and why that matters for vitiligo care.

You’ll hear:

  • How stress hormones can trigger or worsen pigment loss
  • What The Lancet revealed about antidepressant side effects
  • Which medications support balance without tipping the scale
  • Why therapy, sleep, and lifestyle still matter more than any pill

A grounded look at the skin–brain connection — and how healing the mind can help the skin follow.
