Does the title shocks you? Unfortunately, it's true.
I didn't realise that having an eczema can make a person becoming suicidal. I have a relative that is so depressed of her eczema, she thought of committing suicide - SEVERAL TIMES.
From her case, it's not due to the eczema itself - it's the depression caused by the continuous torture of itches and sleepless nights.
You see, eczema suffers don't get the attention and empathy they need to move on. Many people underestimate the severity of eczema by-products: low self esteem, anger, anxiety, depression, frustration, etc. I questioned those people I met that said, "Well, eczema is unlike cancer - it's just itches... you can't die because of eczema" - I said, "well, you are d*mn wrong. People with eczema will eventually becoming suicidal because of people like you underestimate the effect of eczema in one's life, and it hurts."
You know what? There will be (or already are) children with eczema that will become suicidal due to peer pressure and low self esteem. In adulthood, eczema plus the pressure of life itself will bring eczema sufferers down. The impacts of eczema is apparent.
You and I have to create awareness about eczema - to educate people about what eczema is and what you can do to manage eczema, in term of the eczema itself and the psychological effects of eczema.
