Final Year Project
Psoriasis is a common condition - more common than
redheads - typically presenting as dry, itchy patches or “scales” that
can range from a mild annoyance to disabling. Yet, the exact cause is
unknown and treatment can vary widely for each person.
Among a range of co-morbidities, about half of the people diagnosed
with psoriasis are also diagnosed with depression. Is it caused by the
condition itself, or how people with psoriasis are seen and treated by
their peers- and subsequently, themselves?
Vulnerable people make perfect targets for scammers, and unanswerable
questions and social stigma make vulnerable people. The only thing I
hate more than having psoriasis is people who insist they know the cure
for psoriasis.
This project is a satirical but cathartic look at “miracle cures”,
their effectiveness, and the people who have to deal with it all.
