it is incredibly annoying to have to explain how acne has affected my mental health. people have been telling me "no one notices" or "you're gonna have a mask on anyway" they don't understand how it works for us! it is the root of my depression and anxiety. i refrain a lot from social situations just because i don't want to show my face. people that have never dealt with this do not understand and it is so frustrating for people to try to give me advice on it.

"Acne is a disease that has profound effect on an individual's wellbeing. It is an incredibly depressing disease to have. It really affects an individual's mood. Period. Ok?" Dr Dray, I've replayed that more than 10 times and started tearing up. I never saw it as a disease, but a vain and self-absorbed issue, as people like to paint it that way. Finally being heard, understood and validated for being so emotionally affected by acne is so comforting. Thank you. She says this at 17:54

AnTiDotE X my skin better than ever and never looked more youthful. I get compliments all the time on my skin. I don’t get why you’re trying to spread all this over exaggerated information that doesn’t happen to most people. Like you should be smart when taking accutane. I’m not an expert but if you already have other skin problems/health problems then idk if you should take accutane. And also you should always start off with a low dosage not going in full blast. Stop freaking people out with some bull crap. Most people that take accutane take it because nothing else works for them.

@hectictrey8955 4 года назад

AnTiDotE X it sounds like you have a bad experience from it and has been traumatizing for you. I get that you’re insecure but stop trying sound like a know it all and like you’re some top notch dermatologist everyone knows and bow down to😂😂. Like you said people constantly contact you everyday seeking answers. Like just stop seriously 💀. And see my skin isn’t damaged or anything it’s perfect! You said this drug is in humane when there are far worst drugs out there. Get over your bad experience with it and worry about how to fixed YOUR DAMAGED SKIN

@devvandyke1195 2 года назад

I love that you recognize how painful acne can be, both physically and emotionally. My psychiatrist won’t change my meds that potentially cause acne because “your depression might kill you, acne won’t” and it was so frustrating to hear. I’m depressed, at least partially, because my face hurts when I smile. Acne has been a huge contributor to my self esteem problems and social anxiety.

I’ve binge watched your videos tonight! They’ve been so helpful especially as a viewer who is in college. It seems as if some dermatologists don’t empathize with their patients as much as they could. While understanding the need for a quick patient turn over, it’s nice to know there is someone out there that wish to help and educate others so they can take proper action for their skin concerns. Thank you!!!

@chrisbruno96 5 лет назад

This video was VERY helpful. Its always been very upsetting for me to see how the lack of good information has led so many peoples acne condition getting worse. I for one have had acne for years and have tried so many things and later came to find out were very bad for my skin. I applaud dermatologists who actually care enough about people, to make free public videos providing reliable information. We need more of this. thank you again

thank you so much for your words on acne being a disease and being incredibly depressing so many people think acne is just vanity issue but it is painful, physically and mentally. Ive been struggling for about 4 years and I am seeing a new derm to hopefully be put an accutane. I had acne in 2018 then it went away then this year it came back full force, all over my cheeks. I have tried just about every antibiotic and topical treatment and it'll have a slight improvement then within two weeks relapse even WORSE. Hopefully I can start it this month or next month.This video was super helpful !

THANK YOU! Finally an actual informative video of Accutane and not someone reading reviews and claiming it’s an informative video. This was very educational. I used to say acne was a disease years ago and people would laugh at me so I just stopped talking about acne. We should keep talking about it more, we shouldn’t live in fear and insecure feelings, we should be able to face the topic as an empathetic people and work together to help each other. My best friend swears by Accutane and 15 years later, today I started my first dose. I’m not sure why I waited so long but I’ve seen the miracles it has done to people close to me and I’m ready for my turn.

@tlijaniones6595 5 лет назад

@rehmdelacruz6767 3 года назад

As a mental health practitioner, Dr Dray's explanation to acne-depression correlation is on point. Primarily, Accutane is usually prescribed only IF other products like adapalene or tretinoin did not work well with the person - then, this will be the last resort. To have this inference, this suggest that the person may suffered from acne for so long and already tried various products or means to resolve their issue however nothing works. Thus, this put them to have high risk to depression, for depression implies the feeling of helplessness.. the cycle of disappointment to varous products, frustration toward the self and and feeling of hopelessness, believing that at this point, nothing will work. Having "stubborn" acne can definitely lower the person's level of self-esteem. This is vital because when the self esteem is damaged, your view of yourself becomes dysrupted. That's when depression takes place. Another point is that since the person already has the potentials or tendencies towards depression, the purging state really sucks.. It will make the person feel unworthy again..

@sarahs.6195 6 лет назад

First of all, I wanted to say how I appreciate your videos. They have really helped me simplify my skincare regimen. Accutane was something I used for 6 months as a teenager, over 20 years ago, and I wanted to share my experience with it as I was one of those with a bad experience in the hopes that others who are interested in trying it (or having their children try it) know what to watch for, just incase they are in the apparently low percentage of those who react poorly. My triglycerides did spike, so much so that my doctor had me end my Accutane treatment early (I was originally supposed to stay on it for 9 months). Also, It is true that my skin condition was very upsetting to me and caused much sadness and depression, but my depression changed while I was on accutane. This is actually what I would advise parents of accutane teenagers to watch for the most. My depression turned from sadness into almost a manic, which for me was very dangerous. Please pay attention to your children's moods very carefully while taking this and offer them even more love and support during this time. :)

Thank you so much for what you do Dr. Dray. I am 28 years old and I am finally ready to start Accutane, though I have a trip to Cancun in February so I'll start after that. You are absolutely right about the mental distress that acne causes. I don't wear makeup so my acne is always on display and I can tell people look at my pimples when I'm conversing and I get so self-conscious. I've cut dairy and reduced my sugar intake but still get painful cysts. I definitely need to change to a more plant based diet, since I already have high cholesterol. Once again, thanks!

I took Accutaine when I was 20 and I was SO thankful I did! I had always struggled with acne and insecurities related. Looking back I did however become depressed while I was on the medication. It was gradual so I didn’t even notice how depressed I was. I became super isolated and only wanted to stay in bed. Never suicidal though. After I got off the Accutane my mood immediately returned to normal and that’s when I realizad that I did suffer with depression during that time. But I made it through. I honestly would do it again if I needed to. (Thank God I don’t!). Don’t let the scare of depression stop you! Just be conscious that it IS a legitimate side effect and you can get through it 💕

Craig, not at all. They are both in their mid thirties now.

@beckyc.5743 4 года назад

Craig, my kids took it before the advent of social media, haha. We just trusted our dermatologist to be straight with us. I’m so happy for you that you are getting treatment! I took Accutane in my 40’s and the only side effect I noticed was being a little tired and having dry skin, of course.

@beckyc.5743 4 года назад

Craig, just remember to be kind to your skin and let the accutane do its job. Moisturize and don’t do anything crazy for the hyperpigmentation while you’re taking it. We have impaired skin barriers but medication, moisturizing and time will go a long way to heal. Oh and of course sunscreen 😉

Doctors profit from prescribing drugs. They do not profit from talking about the approximately 6-10 % of people who experience serious sustained side effects. If there is one thing I could do differently in my life, it would be to refuse to take accutane when it was pushed on me as a naive teenager.

I'm currently on an 8-month accutane journey and about half way through! I loved this video - so much solid information from a trusted doctor. My main concern is alcohol consumption on the drug. I'm 25 years old and find it so hard to avoid drinking. I've definitely cut down and no longer drink casually. I don't binge drink but on a night out with friends I will have a couple drinks. Every time I wake up after a night out I always feel so guilty because I've heard so many different opinions! I know you touched on this briefly but I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit more on this. Thanks so much!

Videos like these really helped me, and some days on accutane and going to school with some of the symptoms were tough, at one point it looked like my whole arms had vitiligo and I'd show up with the dry skin and needing to explain to so many people why.

My daughter did a full course of accutane when she was 15. It worked well for a while then came back. We did another full course and our doctor said it would be a 95% chance to never deal with acne again. It came back her freshman year of college worse than ever. The whole process was so frustrating to us. I know it's emotionally damaging and I spent so much money trying to get her help. Finally a dedicated esthetician helped her find a routine that is working. After watching your channel I realize what some of our problems were: switching products too often, using too much.... Some people binge watch Netflix. I binge watch Dr. Dray. 😊

Tried all products, I think too much. I’m trying to stay away from oral meds for her, will see. Could be hormonal. Blood work next. Cleared all gluten and dairy from her diet. Gotta get her back on track and her self confidence and smile back:(

Meanwhile, I still had my topicals with me (antibiotics) until that was no longer necessary.
