00:22 for the rest of their life, so it is important that the doctor explains that it is a chronic pathology, and it is a pathology that, if not treated early and in an adequate way, will obviously bring devastating effects.
00:35 So what is recommended is always adherence to therapy, always listening to the advice the doctor gives, not to get lost during the treatment, in the sense that the drugs should be taken as prescribed and you do not have to surrender.
00:51 Also because very often there will be a need to try more drugs before getting to an adequate therapy. And then adherence, as I said, is very important.
01:01 On the quality of life, if all this is not done, so if it is not an early diagnosis, an early treatment, a therapeutic adherence, obviously the pathology will show all its signs.
01:12 And the quality of life of the person will not be a life worthy of living, it will be a life marked by pain, a life marked very often also by the stings that create a stigma in the quality of life during everyday life.
01:30 And then a quality of life without an adequate care of a person affected by psoriasis is a life that does not allow you to carry out the activities of everyday life.
01:42 So it will be a life that will not allow you to work, that will not allow you to have a life of relationship, a life in the family, etc.
01:49 So the recommendation is always to listen to the advice that the doctor gives.
01:54 Information is very important because it helps the person to recognize the symptoms and to go quickly, early, to the doctor.
02:03 It will then be the care of the general medical doctor to direct the patient to the specialist.
02:08 So it is important that people know, but above all that they learn to recognize thanks to this knowledge.
