RAD 2025: Mona Shahriari, MD, underscored the cumulative life impact of atopic dermatitis, reminding clinicians that there is always far more to the condition than meets the clinical eye.
Mona Shahriari, MD, is passionate about the topic of atopic dermatitis management and the emotion in that passion is deep for the patients she treats. In her presentation at Revolutionizing Atopic Dermatitis (RAD) in Nashville, TN, June 6-7, she focused on the impact of the condition on mental health and wellbeing over the life course, highlighting the cumulative emotional burden that builds, perhaps slowly, but consistently.
The emphasis of her presentation was on checking in with patients at each visit about how atopic dermatitis is affecting their every day life, activities, interactions, their sleep, their relationships--ask about everything, she stressed.
In the video above Shahriari goes into details about what to look for and to listen for when treating patients with atopic dermatitis.
