Question 9625 — diseases

Summary

Ms. Annie Vidal draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the fight against the psychosocial burden of serious skin diseases. The Prime Minister confirmed that he wants to make mental health a major national cause for the year 2025. This theme affects the entire population, but is increasingly reaching young people. Prominent skin diseases - such as vitiligo - are multidimensional diseases which pose - beyond the physical aspect - a heavy psychosocial burden on those affected, particularly among young people. The more the illness progresses, the more visible it is and the more it causes isolation, withdrawal or, in extreme cases, discrimination and harassment. As such, a 2024 IFOP study carried out among young people aged 12 to 25 highlights a clear and worrying: 76% of people surveyed believe that society's view of people with vitiligo is harmful to their mental health. The study reveals more precisely that only 34% of college students would accept physical contact with a person suffering from the disease and only 38% would agree to interact with them. If better consideration of this psychosocial burden in the patient journey is essential, the raising awareness among the general public is just as important in order to promote a better understanding of the disease and strengthen support for those affected, particularly the youngest. Thus, she wishes to know how the fight against the psychosocial burden linked to serious skin diseases - which has psychological, academic, family and social consequences in children - will be integrated into the government action plan. linked to mental health in 2025.
