Atopic dermatitis is a chronic and irritating skin disease that causes psychiatric disorders, so it is necessary to know the factors affecting the incidence of this disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and severity of anxiety in patients with atopic dermatitis. This cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 76 patients with atopic dermatitis referred to dermatology clinic of 12 Bahman Hospital in 2020. After recording demographic data and clinical notes, the anxiety scale was recorded using Hamilton questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS 20 software and Chi-square and Fisher tests. The results showed that 38.2% of patients with atopic dermatitis had anxiety. Also, there was a significant relationship between age and anxiety (P<0.05).Due to the high prevalence of anxiety in patients with atopic dermatitis and the determinants of the risk of further anxiety, patients with higher risk atopic dermatitis should be properly screened and appropriate counseling and educational measures should be taken alongside standard treatment.
