This study investigated the psychological aspects of skin problems. Stress sometimes causes the recurrence of skin disease and sometimes it causes behavior that worsens the appearance of skin disease. For example, a person with facial acne due to stress manipulates his/ or her acne more or makes skin lesions itch more, which causes the occurrence of boils and further expansion is difficult. As a result of stress, hormones such as cortisol are released in the body, which increases the secretion of fat or the recurrence of pimples on the face and body. The skin is the first defense barrier of the body and acts as a physical barrier as well as the first location of defense cells to fight against bacteria, viruses, and infectious agents. Stress can cause an increase in the number of defense cells and their inappropriate activation in the skin, and as a result, it causes autoimmune reactions such as skin sensitivity and psoriasis, and the recurrence of inflammatory skin diseases. Coin baldness that is an autoimmune disease is effective. Stress can reduce the skin's resistance to infections by destroying the skin's defense barrier. In addition, by destroying the protective layer of the skin, it can aggravate the loss of water from the skin and increase the penetration of irritants and sensitizers into the skin. Stress can reduce the growth, division and differentiation of new cells in the skin, as well as prevent proper blood supply to the skin.

The aim of the present study was to determine the role of self-regulation behaviors in predicting treatment readiness and symptoms severity in depressed patients. It was a correlational study and its statistical population consisted all depressed patients referring to health centers of Rasht city in 2015. The sample included 100 depressed patients selected via accessible sampling method. Data was gathered by Beck Depression Inventory-II (Beck, 1996), Self-Regulation Scale (Ibanez et al, 2005) and Minnesota Multidimensional Personality Inventory (MMPI; Hathaway, & McKinley, 1943), and analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis. The results showed that self-regulation behaviors could predict 0.27 of treatment readiness and 0.30 of symptoms severity in depressed patients. These findings may have important clinical implications for pathology and prevention from depression
