y the fuk would being depressed affect acne in any way? like how is tht possible?

There is an emerging new field called psychodermatology. They look into the question "does acne cause depression, or does depression cause acne?" It's very fascinating stuff. A few studies have followed a number of people who had acne as well as clinical signs of depression. They found those who were treated for ONLY for acne, while having improvements in their skin, showed no signs of improvement for their depression. (Meaning if you're someone who thinks "I'll feel better when my skin looks better" you'll likely be disappointed.) However, those who were treated ONLY for depression showed improvements both in their depression and their skin. (Changing the idea to "My skin will look better when I feel better.")

It's an interesting way to look at skin problems like acne, psoriasis, eczema, etc. There is a theory that for some people, the conditions may be best treated like a psychosomatic condition.

When I start working with new clients, before we get into skin care products and routine, before we discuss nutrition and physical health, we talk about the emotional components of acne. Depending on the person, I think this can sometimes be more important than actually working directly with the skin. Looking for ways to find emotional relief often allows other interventions more of an opportunity to work.

I am depressed for about 6 years now and I'm quite sure that the only possible thing that would make me completely extinguish my deperesison for good is looking in the mirror and not being ashamed of my face by seeing scars and inflamed acne all over it, I'm certain of that becuase I've already talked to a Psychiatrist and he wasn't able to diminish my strong feelings about it for even a teeny-tiny bit.

So that might be the case with other people that their depression isn't actually the essential cause of acne but for me acne is what made my life a living hell and made me hate myself when I look at my face, Entirely withdraw from society and feel the pain of being somehow different and knowing that I'm physically and psychologically suffering because of something that the vast majority of the world doesn't even understand how painful it is and so on.

I'm sorry that I'll have to set an example of something that's completely unappropriate to say but I'm sure we are all familiar with, The fact that I can't be around people knowing that my face is at its current condition is very similar in its own way to people who can't urinate in front of other people I'm sorry for the disturping example but that's just how it is !!!

Adrenal fatigue. This is why B complex works for acne- it addresses it via adrenal balancing.
